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.

Excellent tool . It provides accuracy easily every time.

Shawn Shim

Using hard maple I made an an offset jig a couple of years ago. Over time it became worn and my dovetails became sloppy.
I never have to worry about that again...if my joints become sloppy in the future, it is on me.

Another quality tool

Well made. A very clever idea. Alot easier than chiseling/paring cut.

Marginally useful for beginners

I can see the benefit of this device if you have become a master in executing precise dovetail cuts. However if the angles of your dovetail saw are off by even a smidgen the Shawn Shim is not going to help you when you mark out and cut your pins

Top quality

Products and service are all A-1. 10 star rating if I could give that many stars.
