Dovetail nirvana

A while back, while doing some research on dovetailed carcass construction I came across this article by John Bullar.

I kept the original link in one of my Firefox tabs but it seems that it is no longer available. *

Luckily there is the Internet Archive... pretty amazing!

I've seen some crazy dovetailed projects, but this one beats them all!

There are a total of 120 dovetails in this piece, and if that wasn't enough, every other pin is 1/3 shorter to add visual interest to the joint.

* The article is available again at it's original location.

That'll be my next project - NOT!

But I have thought that I'd like to try dovetails of varying lengths. That seems doable.

Thanks for the link!

That is awesome! It is also insane. Must take lots of patience.
