This is employed chiefly for the front joints of cabinet drawers, etc, and only shows the joint to one side. The front piece should be thicker than the sides or the back. The dovetails come about two-thirds through the front piece. The pins are first drawn on the front or thick part, the necessary distance for the depth being a little more than the thickness of the sides, and indicated by a line. The distance that the dovetails are to come through from the inside of the front piece is gauged from the inside outwards, and while the gauge is set, a line should be drawn round the end of the other piece, for the depth of the holes. The most of the work of cutting out will have to be done by the chisel, as the saw can only be used for a corner, at about the angle of 45°. When the pins are finished, the transfer must be made to the other piece, as with the plain dovetail joint, and the same care and precaution observed. The cutting out need not be again described. Figs. 67 and 68 show this joint. Glue is chiefly selected as the only fixing necessary for dovetail joints, but occasionally, when extra strength is wished, nails or screws may be added.
