Great directions1 I too have trouble with single dovetails!! I use them on drawers most of the time and use a jig. I tried hand cutting and I got a few good ones but had too much time invested. I watched Rob Cosman ( the king of dovetails) many times and get a few tips each time. I usually have 5 projects going at onceĀ  so they have to move through the shop!!
Cheers Jim
