Michael,
The only way that could be bad is if you didn't improve. You have to start somewhere. When I first learned I followed Ian Kirby. He said to draw alot of lines in a typical dovetail angle on the edge of a board and cut,cut,cut. Stance and the way you hold your saw are very important. The only other thing I needed was to concentrate on marking. Practice until you get your muscles to memorize the movements. ---Jack
