Customer Reviews

One of the most difficult tasks in hand cutting dovetails is accurately transferring the tails and precisely sawing the pins. Rob's improved method of transferring tails to the pin board by offsetting the tailboard by the thickness of the saw kerf takes all the guess work out of where to saw.

Offsetting by the exact thickness can be challenging, but the Shawn Shim helps improve your offset accuracy. The brainchild of one of our Purple Heart Project alumni, we named the shim in honor of him.

Precisely milled to work with our regular dovetail saw, which requires a kerf thickness of .024 inches. The regular Shawn Shim has four different offsets to allow you to tighten or loosen the fit of the dovetails as needed.

CNC milled from solid brass.

3/4 inch x 3/4 inch wide. 1-1/2 inches tall.

Four offset sides: .023, .024, .025, .026 of an inch thickness.

Offset amount engraved on each end of the shim.

Weight: 100 grams

Made in Canada.

My Shawn shim

Arrived in good time and good condition. Working on another project so won't be able to try it yet. But I'm sure it will live up to all expectations.

Nice tool

Excellent fit and finish on this tool. And customer service is first class. I'm very happy to purchase from a business that supports veterans.

Shaun shim

I have used something similar. I took a piece of scrap wood and sawed a kerf in a scrap board, then shaved off the edge, but this is way simpler and easier to use. Thank you.

Excellent

This is a very clever tool. Has really helped me in dialing in my dovetails.

Happy Husband!

I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my husband. Not only did Rob call me personally to thank me for my order and let me know he mailed the dovetail, but my husband was very impressed with the precision of this tool and is excited to work with it. I'm also excited to see what beautiful items he ends up making for me. :) Thanks, Rob!
