In the process of making a small box out of 2.5″ wide 3/4″ euro beech stock, the author noted two main points. First, the dovetails were out of phase. And second, the 3/4″ thick stock was very solid and stocky for a box of this size. The author had intended to make a 4″x6″ box with half-blind dovetails recessed 3/8″ in a 3/4″ board, meaning the 4″ side boards needed to be 3/4″ smaller (3/8″ per side). However, the author initially cut 4.75″ boards instead of the correct 3.25″ measurement. This mistake was easily corrected once noticed.
