Handcut Dovetails

There's something rather satisfying about a really big dovetail joint!  Particularly with they go together first time. These ones didn't, although it was close - two of the pins were a little bit wide. Once that was fixed they went together beautifully - tight enough to need a mallet to drive them home, not so tight as to leave me in fear that one of the panels would split.  All very satisfying....
