I haven’t practiced sawing in a while. As if that makes any difference.
It does. I will get to the bench and try my hand at a dovetail and I won’t know where exactly to put my feet. Or rather, I put my feet where I think they’re supposed to go and they don’t feel quite right. Or I don’t feel right and I’m thinking about how to stand instead of standing and cutting. First tail gets done. I start to cut the second tail and I start to feel that things are getting right again. I launch into the third and now I know I’m back home.
It always takes time to find your pace. To find that body memory. It only takes practice.

What does the first one look like? Do you take practice cuts? Good to know that we are all somewhat alike. LOL!
