Practice Double Dovetails
Here is the first set of dovetails I've ever done, I want to build some infills modeled after Speirs and Norris style planes. I know I know, finish things on the list before adding more. I just can't help it. I ran into some problems with the size, I didn't have enough overhang for the peening, and because the tails were so small I couldn't get my file into the joint to form them properly. Lessons learned.

PS - Cool!
From what I hear it's also encouraged?
