    Default Dovetail joint project coming soon

    For weeks I've been trying to develop two types of joints and I finally did.

    Been testing a few models and both come out well. Thank you Roger Dages for
    helping me test those joints.

    The bit will not plunge to the bottom since I created a type of feather to prevent that.

    A jewelry/memory box will be coming out in the next two weeks so stay tune!

    Here's a preview.

    Not sure what would be the proper name for those joints. Suggestions are welcome.

    I think Clint is suggesting "inverted dovetail" as a name for your type of box joint. Normally a dovetail is the other way around so the pins cannot pull directly out. Your pins are "inverted" with respect to the normal dovetail joins.
