Crucible Dovetail Templates

In generations past, templates similar to these were used to teach apprentice woodworkers the fundamentals of joinery. For novices and experts alike, a well-made dovetail template serves as a quick, reliable guide for laying out the straight and angled cuts for both the tails and the pins. We offer two versions, one for marking out 1:4 slopes and one for marking out both 1:6 and 1:8 slopes.
