finger joints and drawing
finger joints and drawing
last sunday, tried my hand at finger joints and then did a lesson in 'Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain'. the box wasn't perfect (lots of oversaws and gaps and nothing's square), but the pieces fit. i'm satisfied with that for a first try.
this was a lot better than my first try at dovetails. that was just plain painful. since then, got a rigid dovetail saw, a marking gauge, and looked up how to chop with a chisel.
thought the book would give a sense of scale to the frame, but the frame looks huge. it's only 12" x 14" on the outside.
