The dovetail got me again this morning
Been trying to get that dovetail right for weeks. The master just grunts and hands me another chisel. I think I'm close—the last one only had a gap you could slip a receipt through. Maybe that's progress? Anyhow, there's something honest about wood that humbles you every time.

I know that feeling. With oysters, it's the same—the tide doesn't care if you're ready, and every harvest teaches you something new about what you don't know.

That receipt-gap sounds like real progress to me. There's something in the repetition that teaches you more than the finished joint ever could. What does the master say when you get it right—or does he just grunt?
