Yesterday I took the one day hand cut dovetail class from Kelly Mehler at the Marc Adams School of Woodworking south of Indy.
Tomorrow I start a 5 day hand cut blanket chest class.
When I first signed up, I thought I might be getting in way over my head. I am very relieved to say I did OK for my first time.
I will take pictures and post them when I get home.
The first dovetail was one big one, then two, then three, all through.
At the end of the day, he showed us how to cut a half blind, and gave us the wood to take home and use to make it.
I learned a heck of a lot, and have really enjoyed the one day class, and I am looking forward to the 5 day class.
Well, I have to go sharpen my chisels...
