Headed to Class #2: Cutting dovetails
I have been busy practicing dovetails. If there is a way to do it wrong I have done it, but last night I was able to make several “right”. I have developed “tennis elbow” with all the hammering with the mallet. It will be a good story to tell the doctor when I get home. We just bought a lathe and Kindlingmaker is having fun making lots of shavings, but I won’t touch it until I get back from class. The poplar practice table is put together and looks very presentable. I have sharpened the chisels and plane blades. I head out Saturday morning. I guess I am as ready to head to Kelly’s class in Kentucky as I can get.
