Popular Post Wgharv0 Posted December 5, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 I hesitated posting this here because the last time i posted a video from my youtube chanel I didn't exactly get a warm welcome. That being said, this doesn't happen very often and it is too good of a feeling not to share! 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!! https://youtu.be/H-5m5G0rwoc 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 As far as I'm concerned, the wider the board, the harder the alignment. I'd say you nailed it! Good job! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhighlander Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Wow! I can only imagine having a joint like that fit on the first try. Nice work! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post phinds Posted December 5, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 I'm QUITE confident that I couldn't get a fit like that in ANY number of tries. You guys that can do that by hand just amaze me and to get that good a fit on the first try is to me nothing short of astounding. My methodology for such things is invariant and consistent: measure twice and then screw it up anyway. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaneymack Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Its hard to understand how a guy smacking a piece of wood onto another piece of wood can make me feel like this. Reading the other posts of excitement reassure me that im not abnormal. Or maybe we are all screwed up? Great work, man. Seriously nice joint. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
