Whoops - forgot to include the second thing

Our local small-town used book store has a small shelf out front that is filled
with free books.  We always leave more than we take.  Found a 1978 hardocover of
a “Best of FWW methods” so decided to give it a whirl.  Not much useful in there
- just a reminder that we all know more as we get older.

One thing I had not seen before was this -

When you cut the tails of a blind dovetail joint, your saw is at an angle and
there is extra chiseling to do to get into the lower corners.  You can use a
scarper blade in the saw kerf as a very narrow chisel by tapping it down and
completing the cut.  I’ll have to give it a try.  Just thinking - a piece of old
saw blade would work too - just polish the arrises (arrisi?).  You could even
put a hardwood striking pad on it.
