Good job. I haven’t learned this one yet. I want to though. I like the way they look.

the grain of the wood made it look like the lower part of the tail was missing. good job

Looks good, I learned how to cut dovetails by hand for years before I started using a router, it’s still nice when you need to make something by hand and that shows the true craftsmanship. Nicely done.

-- Martin ....always count the number of fingers you have before, and after using the saw.

I have been thinking about getting that Vertias dovetail set – nice to hear others have used it successfully. I would be very happy if my first hand-cut dovetail looks this good! (watch for my post in the coming weeks)

Waaaaaay better than my first (and so far, only) attempt!

Very nice first dovetail. How do you like that veritas saw? I use the veritas dovetail saddle markers regularly and love them.

ooOOOoo pretty…:)

Looks great, a nice fit!
