Attempted my first handcut dovetails, and it’s WAY harder than it looks. I have collected some good quality hand tools but am still lacking a few. Also don’t have a good vise.
I’m sure it didn’t help that I started on Osage orange, but I really expected it to come out better than this. Any advice?
Note, the bandsaw was just to remove waste. I have a nice LN dovetail saw. #diy source
