Making a dovetail square #1
Christopher Schwarz
>Here's how I modified my Veritas Saddle Square to become a dovetail square. What I really like about the square is that you can lay out your joint in both axes.
I lay out my dovetails with calipers (a la Alan Peters and Rob Cosman) so this square lets me line up its square edge with the pin hole and mark both faces of the joint. This, I've found, is far more accurate than laying it out with a sliding bevel and a square.
