How to Make Sliding Dovetail Joints
Tuesday September 30, 2008
In an upcoming project, you'll be seeing some sliding dovetail joints. Of all dovetail joints, the sliding dovetail may be the most versatile. Not only can sliding dovetail joints be used in the construction of drawers and cases, they are extremely useful for connecting table legs to pedestals, attaching the ends of a cutting board, joining shelves to cabinetry and much more.
However, the sliding dovetail may be the least well-known of all dovetail joints. In Sliding Dovetail Joints, learn about this incredibly useful joint, as well as methods for creating sliding dovetail joints for use in your woodworking plans.

I agree with the other poster - this provided no useful information whatsoever.
