I'm so close I can taste it.....

>Here is my latest attempt at handcut dovetails. Cutting the tails first worked for me, or maybe I'm just getting better each time I try but these are not too bad. When I cut the pins I find it easier to mark since the cut is straight up / down.

There really is a certain sense of satisfaction to doing this.....SWMBO thinks I'm a nut.

Thanks for the advise a few days back, it really did help me.




Thanks

>Thanks,

I'm not making anything right now. I had an old cutting board sitting in the shop so I ripped it in two and have been using to practise. When the DT is done I slice them off and try again. I'm running out of cutting board.....
