Re: Three way dovetail joint

Cornelius,
?
No, I never used the Hoffman wooden keys.?
Steve, a member of the FOG group, made that floating honeycomb shelf video. He probably used the Hoffman wooden keys.
?
I do not see a safe and efficient way to make Hoffman dovetail keys manually, cause the keys are relatively small.
?
Unless using a custom made profile knife on the shaper, using a jig to hold the wood and profile the key in two passes.?

James,
?
Right after I sent the last message with the photo?of my key, I realised that my grain direction is probably?wrong .... ? Would have to be more careful in selecting?the pieces I use for this purpose. What I photographed will probably snap quite easily. Have you ever used the Hoffman wooden keys? They seem to come in 1m lengths and are available in a variety of woods. How are they as far as grain is concerned???

Many?thanks,
