Start each woodworking session with a quick, practice dovetail to work out the kinks and get in tune with your hand tools. That's what Gary Rogowski teaches his students. For seasoned woodworkers, the exercise will help you practice handskills while easing into the focused mindset required for woodworking. For beginners, it's a great introduction to hand-cutting a dovetail joint.
