Re: It's impossible to cheat at woodworking

Whoa ! Hot topic Hot topic.
IMHO,
If your woodworking is a contest then yeah maybe its cheating if the rules dont allow jigs For most its just a way to relax and if using jigs helps you to relax and decrease frustration then gord ahead. When you cut a 45 degree haunch on a tenon some people may cut them by eye. I think it is smart to use a block that you know is 45 degrees.
While I dont think it is necc to use a block to cut dovetails (I undercut them slightly anyway) I certainly dont think the woodworking gods would dissaprove anyhow.
Woodworking is a hobby for most... a pleasure to be enjoyed. Leave the egos to the pros and just do the best you can and HAVE FUN!

Re: Small Cabinet

I just watched the series and was quite impressed. You dont see the described detail very often. Lots of great tips on layout precision and fantastic knife hinge tutorial. Awesome job !!!
Thanks,
