>Bill Thomas did a presentation of doing a sliding dovetail with hand tools in his shop last November for the Guild of NH Woodworkers. This meeting, like all guild meetings, was videotaped. A full list of Guild videotapes is available on our website at www.gnhw.org. These are available for free loan to our members or purchase by anyone. We are fortunate to have so many fine professionals in NH who are members of our guild and willing to volunteer their time and talent. I personally have learned a huge amount fromthese folks and all of our members.
