We're currently standing at 95 days of dovetails, but the thought of throwing the last 30+ joints at you seems a bit cruel. So I'm breaking this post up into 2 chunks. Did I say 30+ days? Well yeah, I did. I wish I could say that I've been cutting a joint consecutively for the last 95 days, but that wouldn't be totally accurate as there have now been a few breaks in the chain; what with life in all getting in the way some days.
This chunk also has my favorite joint as of yet: Day 72 to be exact...it's ugly, it's gappy, but it's a winner; but more than that it's a sentimental favorite (take a peek below for all the details).
So without further adieu, lets get on to the main attraction!

As I mentioned above day 72 is a sentimental favorite for me. It was cut during the 2012 West Coast Woodworking In America Conference in Pasadena CA. It was also my entry in the Hand Tool Olympics speed dovetail competition. The best part is that it actually won the fastest time and brought home a sweet Lie-Nielson thin plate dovetail saw. Above and beyond this treat, it was actually the new friends and contacts that I made as a part of the conference that makes this joint the memorable favorite.
