referring to
cutting the fe
male portion of
the sliding
dovetail (Winter '76), you say : .. . ..the tapered side is sawed
at an angle, using the saw shoulder as the guide. " Please des
cribe how the shoulder may be used as a guide when it is not
in contact with the work until the cut has been made to its
fu ll depth. It seems that a standard backsaw or dovetail saw
used with a guide block cut to the desired angle and clamped
to the work would serve much better.
Actually, the router plane appears to be the essential tool
to hand-cutting the fe male portion of this joint .
-Stephen B. Ringle, Someville , Ma s.
[Editor's note: Tage Frid replies that because the handle of the saw is beveled
at the correct angle where it meets the blade, you merely eyeball it. When
the saw shoulder looks parallel to the work, the cut will be correct. J
likely to leak
r
under varying degrees of stress .
However the method of producing the joint is rather in
volved and cumbersome. Several special tools and fi xtures
must be made. Also needed would be a vertical boring
machine or drill press. In the old days a breast drill and a
reliable apprentice were used. The cove and pin were cut fi rst,
with a hollow mill shaped somewhat like a Forstner bit, whose
center retracted into its shaft against a spring. The cutter
fo rmed the cove and pin in one operation .
The spacing is very critical and was achieved with a ratchet
bar, precisely notched to 1/128 in. Ratchet bars were made to
match each size mill. Next the pinholes were drilled (using
brad point drills) in the end plates or drawer sides, and these
matched the pins previously fo rmed by the mill, because the
same ratchet bar was used. The scriber is set down over a pin
and set to the radius of the cove. Remove its bushing and
replace it with the correct size scriber pin , and scribe an arc
directly above each pin . The scriber must be set so that the
scallops are

an interference it when the joint is assem
bled . A ine saw cut is made down to the interstice of each
arc . Next , a sharp half-round firmer gouge of a radius to
match the cove is itted with a pilot device equipped with a
pin to match the pinhole.
The end plate is clamped down over a piece of hardwood
(maple) that has a dado cut down its length, that fa lls directly
below the pinholes to accept the guide pin . The guide pin is
slipped into the pinhole, and the chisel is adjusted to fit
between the sawn lines. Strike the chisel in the normal man-
Regarding the article by Bob Stocksdale (Fall '76), I am in
no position to quarrel with a professional wood turner whose
work is as fi ne as those pictured ...What I don 't understand
is his sanding sequence. Starting with 16 grit seems incredible
to me-I myself start with 50 grit and fe el that much of the
time this is too coarse ...Ideally it seems to me no sanding
other than a very fine grit should be required .
-Alex R. Ross, Stzlwater, Okla .
Regarding Clarence Hill's question about an old drawer
joint (Winter '76): During my days as a master pipe organ
builder, we called this a pinned cove joint . As to its origins, it
could have been either German , French or English. A larger
version than that normally seen on drawers was used on wind

work , thereby making it a cinch for the amateur ... Concern
ing the quenching oil, you should have a minimum of one
gallon in a pan shaped like a bread baking pan. This allows
ample oil to absorb the heat of several hardening attempts.
Also, never use cold oil. It should be preheated to a warm
temperature with a heated scrap of metal.
-R. Pey Mercu rio, Kin giel, Main e
Gordon Harrison 's article on heat treating (Fall'76) did not
define the rwo common types of carbon tool steel. The two
types we should be concerned with are the water-hardening
steels and oil-hardening steels. It is quite easy to distinguish
berween them by a spark test on a grinding wheel.
Water-hardening steel will give off a shower of " Fourth of
July" type of white sparkly sparks while oil-hardening steels
give of a lesser amount of streamers, red in color and fewer
dead-looking sparks at the ends of the streamers .
If you attempt to harden oil-hardening steel in brine or
water you are quite likely to damage the structure of the steel
and in many cases there will be shock cracks large enough to
destroy the tool. If, on the other hand, you quench many of
the water-hardening types in oil , you may get no hardness at
all or at best only a hardened skin on the thin sections of the
tool . Usually tles, springs , etc. are varieties of water-harden
ing steel and in general do not make a very good cutting tool
because these steels are alloyed with small amounts of other
materials to enhance their ability to do the best job for which
they were intended. Oil-hardening or type 0-1 steel will give
you that silky, velvet-smooth cutting edge desired by all
Sure hope the man in the photos in " Heat Treating" (Fall
'76) is n't a teacher. His safety habits leave much to be de
sired : no gloves to protect fr om the heat , loose sleeves and
shirttails , no safety glasses for pops and spatters.
-David Rose, To kyo, }apan
Your article on heat treating (Fall '76) was a very informa
tive item for the woodworker as it helps to remove some of the
mystery from the steels that we all use.
When you soften steels you definitely anneal them, but
there are a variety of procedures to utilize, to gain given prop
erties . In the metalworking industries annealing means that
after you have heated the steel past its critical temperature ,
you then slow-cool it in still air-in the furnace. This gives
you soft steel with a fairly coarse grain structure. If you were
to take this same piece of plain carbon or low-alloy steel and
