I thought at first those were letters worked into the joins. That'd be cool, having it spell out a message.

JoinTs?

Is there a reason you're using the word join instead of joint (as in dovetail join, box joint, ...)? Not being picky, just wondering if this is one of those Maker-speak, language hack, confuse the old guys thing.

I've heard it both ways. I picked up "joins" when I took woodshop in college - I'm sure that teacher is an old guy now. Not new-fangled Maker-speak as far as I know. :)

(I thought those were letters, too, the first time I saw them - that would be cool!)

Beautiful work.. and yeah the title's wrong, it should be joint.

Looks great, lots of patience needed.

I've been watching Tommy's podcast he shows off how to do basic dove tails at:

For full disclosure I will admit I don't cut DTs by hand (I use a router and jig) and have a CNC router in my shop.

The problem with CNC router joints (in my opinion) is the radius if the cutter leaves them all looking bubbly. Perhaps I like the traditional dovetails or box joints too much.
