I've made dovetails before with the router - even have a jig for the router table. Works pretty good, and I'm not unhappy with them. But I decided to try my hand at cutting them by, well, hand. I was keeping the extra supplies for my Worksharp in a cardboard box, so I figured a dovetail box would be cool, and set out, focused on sawing and chopping. They came out pretty good. I cheated a bit by making a guide for the saw, but everything was dozuki, coping saw and chisels. I planed them a bit, sanded them and was kinda excited and was admiring my work, and then burst out laughing.
Anyone spot the hilarious rookie mistake?
