Im still working on my 30 day dovetails! but caught myself on one evening. I only had a spare few minutes to do a bit more work, and i found myself really rushing to try and see some results, it was late and I was tired too, and thats not a good thing with a hammer and chisel in your hands! thankfully i didn't injure myself but my dovetails aren't so pretty :-( So....sacrifice quantity for quality? i probably should, and not risk loosing a finger!

When I think I'm tired, I probably was a half hour before. That's the time the tools are turned off, or put away. The shop may get cleaned up a bit, but nothing requiring much thought or dexterity. The restoration parts that I make must fit perfectly together, or the final project shows bumps where there should not be any. Not good for the museum piece or for the business.
