Did you know that dovetail saws can be used to cut not only dovetails, but other fine joints for projects. The blades on these saws are quite thinner than other saws. This allows for better accuracy. It’s important to buy a good quality tool for making tight joints and professional projects. Look out for about 14 - 17 points per inch in a good quality saw.

You can save quite a bit of dosh by making your own woodworking jigs. Get hold of cheap materials and pieces of plywood for creating your own jig. Since you use the jigs for only one project, you don’t have to spend much on materials. If you plan to use your jigs again, use a stronger hardwood to make them.

It is useful to know that a kreg jig is useful for cabinet making. Perfectly positioned slides are important if the movement in the drawer is to be smooth. Using kreg jigs save you a lot of time because you won’t need to measure and mark the spaces for drawer slides. These make it much easier to mount metal drawer slides. They can also be used for center, bottom or extension mounted drawers. This is a very inexpensive, yet versatile piece of equipment.
