    One of the best feelings in the world

    I am currently working on a project that has really pushed me. I am cuttting all of the joinery by hand and the dovetails are at 86/94 degree bevels instead of 90. This particular joint was the 5th of 6 and while starting to test fit it, i realized it was going to go together without modifying it. As far as woodworking goes it is about the best feeling in the world!!

    That sure would put a big smile on my face if I could do that.

    I aspire to that. Off the saw. Nice. I can understand your joy. It is a very empowering feeling to do things precisely, the first time, by "hand and eye"

    A very good day in Blackrock! More photos of the project please. And what is this "84/96" stuff? Something splayed?
