Better tools make things easier.

Most woodworking magazines have at least one article or tip to make dovetais easier, usually addressing the transfer of tail locations to the pin board, or pins to the tail board. For most joinery, layout is taken for granted and cutting is the hard part. Tailspin makes that true for dovetails too.

But what about tradition?

TailSpin Tools’ US Patent # 11,878,407 calibrated collinear marking is a faster, more accurate way to layout your dovetails. You’ll tell your grandkids about the pins first / tails first feud one day, and they won’t believe how hard life was back then.
