I have a Tyzack brass backed saw I've used and it works fine. The chisels are the trick, think very sharp.

Until getting dovetail jig I had made dovetails by hand using a dovetail saw and a sharp bevel chisel.

Here is a step by step guide to make your own along with the tools you'll need. It's probably not the best site but it should give you some good ideas.

I'm new to the forum and saw the post about dovetails. I want to cut some by hand and I like your page Michael. I'm going to mark it in my browser for refural in the near future. Thanks.
