Watching someone cut a dovetail by hand is a lot more interesting now that I know from experience how hard it is. And maybe I’ll learn a trick to make my next ones better.

A dovetail is a type of joint that doesn’t require fasteners and only uses the material (usually glue for wood).

It was more funny when I didn’t know that :(
But thanks! I kind of expected it’s something like that :D

And its cheaper to watch someone do it. Quality timber and tools are expensive.
And less annoying to your neighbor if you’re in a neighborhood. Plus how many tables can you actually fit in a house?

Cutting dovetails implies by hand - power tools exist for it, but those using power tools generally use different joints.
