I was working on a piece last week and thought I’d try a new dovetail technique I read about. the joint looked more like a cat’s breakfast than a clean fit — guess my precision took a vacation! Anyone else had a total joint fail that turned into an unintentional art piece?
Sounds like a classic case of ‘artistic license’! Sometimes those flubs can inspire a whole new project — maybe turn that wobbly dovetail into a rustic frame or a quirky shelf? Ever thought about just embracing the chaos?
I’ve definitely had my share of cat breakfast joints; sometimes they turn out better than expected, though. Got any plans for that piece now?
