To make dovetail joints by hand, you will need a dovetail saw, chisels, marking gauge, and a mallet. Start by marking out the tails on one piece of wood and the pins on the other. Use the dovetail saw to carefully cut along the marked lines. Then, use the chisels to remove the waste wood and create the angled edges of the joints. Finally, test the fit of the joints together and make any necessary adjustments for a snug fit.
Dovetail joints are made by cutting interlocking "tails" and "pins" into two pieces of wood, which then fit together tightly to form a strong connection. The tails are wedge-shaped projections on one piece, while the pins are corresponding notches on the other piece. The joint is typically cut by hand using a dovetail saw and chisels, or with the help of a router or dovetail jig for precision.
