    Hello gang and Happy New Year! Today was a fun one: ‪@BuiltByChris‬ came around, and we spent a couple hours getting him to cut his very first ever Dovetail joint by hand. Couple stories, couple laughs, and a couple dovetails cut out. Great way to end the year in the workshop, and I can't wait to get back out there in 2024! Cheers for all the support in 2023, it's been a great one!
