I recently got “Hand-Cut Dovetails” with Rob Cosman and started practicing. This is the first attempt which is now a baby toy (no lead).
Lessons learned. The stock is 1/4” thick. I think thicker material (3/4”) would be easier.

Rob is a great DVD teacher and an excellent in person teacher. You are off to a great start if that’s your first attempt. I don’t think I cut a good joint until I was well into my 20th attempt. Great job!
