Looking good! Dovetails are a challenge for me too. It always seems like whenever I make one good joint, the next one I get over confident and slip up.
One of my goals this year is to make a bunch of boxes and give them out as presents whenever we need something to give out.
Cheers!
11 January 2014 at 1:26 am #25725Nice work Sandy. Making boxes is very satisfying. It must tap into some primal instinct or something. Every base culture in the world has spent a great deal of effort in making containers of some sort.
11 January 2014 at 2:14 am #25728One of my ambitions this year is to take a weekend and just prepare stock for about 100 small boxes, or drawers or trays or somthing of that nature. Then try to cut one set of dovetails per day, every day till they are all done. At the end of 100 days, I hope to about have it mastered.
11 January 2014 at 4:09 am #25736Sandy, I know what you mean. Most of what I make ends up being claimed by family or friends. The wife keeps telling me, “you made this one, you can make another”, and off it goes. 🙂
