I'm Throwing Away My Handsaw (when cutting dovetails anyway)

Woodworking has a problem: hand-cut dovetails are difficult and time consuming, but machine-cut dovetails are inflexible, ugly, and require an expensive jig. Well, no more. Throw away your handsaw and make these two simple jigs that will enable you to make beautiful "hand cut" dovetail joints close to "machine cut" time and accuracy!
