A bit of a cross post. But it beats watching McMahon videos, except in a fascination with train wrecks sort of way...
Hi everyone. I have succedded in embarassing my wife with this post on a couple forums already, but I'm too proud not to post her first attempt at hand-cutting DTs.
Armed with this:

She took over my bench a couple weekends ago and did this:

She got herself a tad confused in the marking of the tails and rather than erase the bogus marking lines, she used the smallest Sharpie on my bench and highlighted the proper knifed lines.
Snug, hand-tight and no gaps right from the saw--thanks for the book Rob (hey, a signed copy from his visit that he gave to my wife...meep meep).
The missus will do a couple more and then start on some boxes this coming weekend.
Take care, Mike
PS and an edit to the above. This is without my help except to gather the tools Rob mentioned from their ignoble location in boxes...Now she is doing some Bubinga boxes before she tackles a lap desk.
