Thanks to your VERY informative video. I watched this video a few days ago on your website and was inspired to try my hand at my first halfblind dovetail and had great success the first time. Thank you so much for taking the time to help us all out!!

The video was very educational. I especially appreciate how you made the common mistakes purposely. I personally learned all of those mistakes first hand and had I seen this years ago I would have saved a lot of time. I typically start with the tails first and then transfer the lines to make my pins. I don’t think it really matters what comes first but if you have a reason I’d like to know. Nice job.
