Thank you, thank you, John. I will be setting two dovetail joints over the holiday this week and the addendum video comes at a really good time. (These will be my first traditional dovetail necks.)

Absolutely fantastic! Thank you so much for your help via these videos, John. Last week I closed up the box on my second build, opened up the mortise of the dovetail on the body, slid in the neck, put the straight edge across, and measured 3/32" gap...at the neck joint! The straight edge was touching at the nut and saddle location only. I thought I was doomed. But using the steps you work through in the video, and following A.C.E. I had a fit and angle I couldn't be happier with, in less than an hour. Thanks again John. Great video.
