out after each chip is removed. Continue removing waste in this way until close to the depth line, then clean the socket bottom right to the line.

It was mentioned earlier that dovetail layouts may be influenced by the location of grooves for a drawer bottom. When planning half-blind dovetails to join a drawer front to the

sides, the groove cut in the front must be located so that it does not run into and damage the half pin. The best location for the groove is between the half pin and the full pin above it as shown in Fig. 19.

Provided a half-blind joint is used at the front, grooves can be run the full length of the sides. If a through joint is used, the groove must be stopped short of the tail ends, unless the edges of the front will be covered with an applied molding.

We all have bad days now and then, and sometimes a dovetail joint turns out less than perfect. Slight defects can often be "doctored" and it's always worth a try to save time and material. If, after gluing up, there is a slight gap between a tail and pin, the end grain of each can be peened with a hammer and often the fibers will spread just enough to fill the gap. Aim the hammer blows right on the gap.

If the gap is too large to close by hammering, it can be filled with a triangular piece of matching veneer or

a thin slice of wood cut with the end grain matching the pin.

If the gap is less than the thickness of the veneer, hammer the veneer fiat to compress it. Glue is forced into the gap (don't put glue on the veneer or it will quickly swell) and the veneer is inserted (Fig. 20). After the glue dries, the excess veneer is trimmed off and the joint sanded.
