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.

This greatly improves time spent fitting dovetails. Very simple and practical. Dovetails fit without spending time shaving for perfect fit.

I found this Shawn Shim very easy to use. Great!

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.
