I like the realism in your project; you wanted to finish it three months earlier than you did. It's more relatable as I'm just finishing a shed I started building a year and a half ago. Nice job, I like the finished product and appreciate getting to see how you correct mistakes.
A tip I've seen for dovetail bits: If you have a straight bit the same or less than the width of the thinnest part of the dovetail, you can make multiple passes as needed with that until your desired depth. Afterwards, go back with your dovetail bit at the desired depth and it will only need to cut the sides
thanks for posting the video! QQ: what would you recommend to someone not trusting themselves to cut the curve as precisely as you did 15:21? Is there a way to do it using a guardrail, perhaps with a router?
Great question! So just to be clear, when cutting that curve, I use the bandsaw to rough cut it, leaving some space outside the pencil line. Then I use a spindle or belt sander to ease right up to the final line. If, for example, you wanted two to perfectly match, you could cut a template out of 1/4 inch plywood and then use a router to get to final dimension (usually still after rough cutting on the bandsaw to save your router bits a lot of work).
Thanks! There's lots of good options out there. This is a waxed canvas woodworking apron - I got it so long ago that I don't know the exact one online, but amazon seems to have a few good options. There's also the Katz-Moses one, but it's currently sold out.

Aw man, where were you a few weeks ago? I needed you!
@@imadeathing91 I was probably wasting time on youtube rather than building things like I should!
👀 I wouldn't know anything about that, of course.
