The instruction in this video helped me immensely. It seems like there's a million videos on how to cut a DT out there, but very few that focus on the mechanics of sawing straight to begin with. I would do ok with a dovetail saw, but would always struggle to cut straight with anything larger than that - tenon saw, etc. The tip about establishing your kerf on the vertical face of the workpiece before completing the kerf on the endgrain is exactly what i was missing. That one little detail made an instant and remarkable difference. Many, many thanks!

Thanks Joshua, when I got my first quality dovetail saw, I was amazed at the difference in my work. Thanks for the tips. After many years of woodworking I often take a scrap, draw lines and practice. Your a great instructor. I really want to come visit you some day.

All of these tips are golden! I don't just mean for dovetail cutting, but in general. One of the issues that caused me more headaches, broken and bent saws, frustration, and unfinished projects was the initial few strokes. I'd have a brand new saw, and it'd look like I was trying to play it in a jug band. One day my Dad came into the workshop, saw me getting frustrated and saw why and just said, "You remember my advice when you were learning to water-ski? Try that." (That advice was "A tool is made to do the work, so let it." He said boat in that instance, but "tool" makes it a little more versatile.) Using your left thumb as a guide is something I'll be employing from now on too. Great content! Thanks.

Something I read or saw somewhere mentioned "warming up" before cutting into your first workpiece. Make a 10 or so cuts into a scrap to get your muscles and eyes reacquainted with sawing. It really helps, especially if you haven't sawn any dovetails in a while.
@keithhaycraft3765

I was taught to use my knuckle as a guide rather than my thumb point because if you use the point of the thumb you will find out just how much you touch things with the end of your thumb but notice it much less if you break the skin on your knuckle.

Hi love your videos very helpful you asked if anyone had any tips that might help others I can’t see this one in any comments so before making any saw cuts instead of drawing the saw back a couple of times why not take a chisels and just make a cut on the waste side up to the cut line and your have a groove for your saw to lie in it helps with the first few strokes of the saw

Do you take the tips off of the first 3 or 4 teeth closest to the handle? I've seen some sawyers use a file to just nip the tips of those first few teeth to use those to start their cuts also. As opposed to pulling on the first stroke or two.

@WoodAndShop

You're correct. As I show in the video, first practice cutting on the line, and then practice cutting next to the line. If you can leave only the pencil line (and nothing else) then your joint will fit together without paring with a chisel.
