Glue Squeeze Out Free Dovetail Joints

[@BeauBeckwith]

I just wanted to thank you for this video. I was really having problems with the glue up, and as soon as I added the cauls and changed the amount and placement of the glue, everything fell into place. Seriously, you've saved me so much headache!

Very cool. I am pretty new so forgive the beginner question... do you also want to clamp from the other sides as well?

If it was a box joint (aka finger joint) you would need clamps on 2 axis, but the design of a dovetail joint eliminates that need. The angles of the pins are wedged in between the tails preventing movement.

Good idea with the glue gun! Wish I had one.. I have a dovetail box to glue right now!

Yep, I definitely be using that trick.
