Straight from the £3 dovetail saw. I'm inordinately pleased with myself. :D

Very tidy work Phil. Straight off the saw as well =D>
Mine tend to get a little bit of tinkering as rarely brave enough to hit the knife line first time
 
Not too shabby at all!

Am I allowed to ask if that was done seated or with your new leg on? Impressive either way.
 
:D No photoshop - I wouldn't know where to start. There were a couple of very small gaps filled with dust, though. Done seated, which isn't very easy as I haven't the room to align the chair where the angle is best.
 
If I could do mine that well I should be very well pleased . Good stuff mi amigo. Perhaps the sitting down gives better perspective while sawing. I may soon be in that position to work as well (going for bone scans on my back in a week durnit) .
 
very good - I have just had a look at my hapless attempt at dovetails (in my saw bench) and needless to say I won't be posting a picture for comparative purposes! what are you making?
 
Crikey o riley that's tidy !

It is pretty impressive. I've never attempted a dovetail and wouldn't know where to start.
