The bottom half of the lid has a slot through which the screw is inserted - to engage the dovetail key in the base, it is retracted and swivelled so the pins on its other end line up with the dovetailled key and then it is slid forward.<br />2.

During the two St. Roy dovetail presentations that I attended, that box wasn't passed around. Roy did show it quickly though. At the banquet, our table even had a brief discussion on how it works but we couldn't figure it out. Now I need to build a box and find some mutton tallow. <br /><br />It was very nice meetingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128369950831173916.post-31837325206769754282009-10-07T21:07:20.315-04:002009-10-07T21:07:20.315-04:00Just want to say I am impressed with the very prof...Just want to say I am impressed with the very professional look of your video.

You looked a little mortice-fied at the boring competition.<br /><br />Anyway, I thought immediately of two things when reading this post.
