I felt it necessary to remove the following from the Dovetail joint entry: "cutting dovetails by hand is time consuming." In fact, cutting the dovetails for a single drawer is much faster than setting up the router. This is especially true for furniture where drawers of various sizes are used, requiring multiple resets of the router. I agree, however, that in long production runs machinery is faster (as is true for any cut in a manufacturing setting). For an instructional video, see "Dovetail a Drawer" by Frank Klausz.

[edit] Dovetail

    Dovetail means to fit pieces together like in a puzzle!
