   I checked my old FWW index for the first 100 issues.
   Issue 57 on page 104 and issue 61 on pages 84 & 85.
   I haven't dug out the issues to look at them so I can't tell you what they say.

   Thanks,

    

   I think I've seen issue 61 but I'll check out issue 57.

   Here's a link to an online article I wrote on how to cut it. It's the same article BG pointed you to but not in Word format. Slainte.

   I used this article as a guideline this weekend to make a first attempt.  I think it takes more time to mark up the cut lines than it does to do the cuts.

    

   Thanks for the reply and good article.

   David Charlesworth's first book, "Furniture-making Techniques" has an article on making twisted dovetails also. It's a very good book.

   Check your local library first for a "free" look at the book.

   There is an old FW article by Alan Peters that shows you exactly how to layout and assemble the joint.

   Check with the editors.
