In other news, I fail at dovetailing. I cut the tails and pins out fine, but they didn't mesh right and the fact that I cut both way too thin became apparent. Oh well, better luck next time, and I think I know what I did wrong. And it wasn't a bad show for the first time I've ever done it.

Edit: when I tried it a second time, it worked much better and faster, although it was a looser fit, right up until I attacked it with a jack plane trying to remove the bits that stuck out. If I'd glued it even that would have been fine. I've not mastered dovetailing by any means but I can do it now.
