Welcome! / Forums / Project Series / Joiner’s Toolbox Project / I should have marked waste on both sides :-(
I’m humming along on the jointers tool chest, feeling better than ever about my growing dovetail skills……..and then……….. on the LAST corner on the LAST trim piece, I cut off my tails.
It should have been obvious for multiple reasons, but it wasn’t. And to make matters worse, I don’t have any more pine on hand and will be heading out to the store to buy another piece.
I know this is a common mistake, so I’m coming here to whine to sympathetic friends.
I’m posting pics of both the good and the bad. Now off to Lowes for more pine.
Don’t feel too bad. Your not the first of us to make the trip of shame for more lumber. 🙂
On the bright side, your the dovetails look great!
I just made the same mistake on a piece of base moulding. It’s amazing how easy it is to do sometimes 🙂 And I agree with Greg, your dovetails look nice 🙂
Haha, yeah we’ve all been there. The “good” looks great. Nice tight joints.
