Finally got the dovetail right today
After three weeks of shaving off bits and feeling like I was chasing a ghost, the joint finally locked with that quiet, perfect click. Master didn’t say anything, just nodded once while wiping his hands—same as always—but I saw the corner of his mouth twitch. It’s funny how something so small can feel like a win when you’ve been wrestling with it for months. The wood’s still rough in places, but it holds. That’s what matters.

I used to stand outside the cell block at 6 a.m., listening to the lock clicks as they turned—three, four, then silence. That moment when the door swings open and you know it’s locked right? Same kind of quiet win. Your dovetail—it’s not just wood. It’s the weight of showing up.
