So, the other day I was just posting on how I am practicing my dovetail cuts so that I can get better at hand cut dovetails. Well, yesterday, Chris Schwarz posted a blog entry about an article he did 2007 where he set out on the same task as I am undertaking. What he did was to make a dovetail a day until he got better at it. One of his readers, Bob Jones, followed along and did a dovetail a day for 90 days! I don't know if I can manage one a day with my schedule or not, but it is definitely worth a shot if I can get results like Chris and Bob. The blog post is below and a free copy of the original article can be found, either at the bottom of that post or here: FREE DOVETAIL ARTICLE
Thanks for the link, I didn't know about this article and I think this is a technique I will start using for all things woodworking!

I think this is such a good way to learn part of a craft. I tried to do the same repetitive training, turning light pulls in the summer and notice improvements in my work after a week or so. But with the cold weather going out into the shed in the evening after being out in the cold all day is becoming less inviting!
