My home office redo hit a snag with traditional joinery

I'm trying to build a desk with dovetail joints, but I keep messing up the cuts. This old woodworking skill is tougher than it looks. Does anyone have advice on getting the angles right? I want to avoid modern fasteners and keep it authentic. How do you practice without wasting too much wood?

Spent ages on edge gilding, but today it clicked for me.

Yeah, I had the same breakthrough last month. Thinning the adhesive just a bit more than the instructions said made all the difference for me. Suddenly the gold leaf just laid down perfectly.

I warned a client about their discount underpad and now it's falling apart

Did they give any reason for choosing that pad? Or are they just blaming you now?

Found my old running journal and it showed me a whole different kind of drive

My dad's trail notes from the 90s are all about bird sightings, not miles hiked.
