Glenn Bradley dropped by my place this morning to work on some dovetails. We did through dovetails and half blind dovetails. Here we are with glenn's dovetails.
It was a very enjoyable visit - Glenn is a great guy and an excellent woodworker.

I confess a lack of anything one might call skill at hand cut dovetails. I decided it was one of those things I really ought to be able to do better and so committed to myself to pursue them. The ones I did under Mike's tutelage tapped together on the first go. Comparatively, the ones I did prior to his instruction took a half a dozen attempts and adjustments before all the fingers would mesh correctly.
Its always a pleasure to see Mike's work and a real treat to see it up close and personal. I had a great time, learned a ton and managed to make off with one of Mike's brass dovetail markers; an unexpected bonus. Speaking of unexpected, I knew Mike kept bees; I didn't know he kept them in the backyard. Talk about fresh honey!
Thanks again Mike for a great visit and a quantum leap on my pursuit of hand cut dovetails.
