I recently began learning to hand cut dovetails. I decided to buy the 3 dvd set that rob Cosman offers (along with the shop manual). In the manual, Cosman suggests using a skew block plane on the inside of the tailboards. I have a few questions about this approach:
1. How many people use this approach, and how beneficial is it?;
2. If beneficial, what plane do you suggest I use? Rob uses a LN skew block plane. And I know LV has a skew rabbet plane. Are there any other options?; and
3. What other uses are there for a plane like this? I enjoy the neandder side of ww much more than the power tool side. So if getting a skew rabbet plane is a versatile tool that has lots of applications, then I will pull the trigger on getting one. But if it is a one trick pony, maybe my money would be spent better elsewhere.
Presently, I am focusing on casework, and making furniture for all of my bedrooms.
Thanks for all of the help.
