So I attempted a half lapped dovetail, didn't follow any set process and it was rubbish. Had a little watch of Paul sellers method and this was attempt 2, I must sat I'm pretty happy with this considering the wood was not fully tried and it was scrap wood.

 

Really happy with the lapped pins

    I too, have learned a lot from Rob Cosman. One of the main problems I have constantly fought was keeping my saw outside the lines. I worked an entire week learning how to cut them right, and it was well worth it. Sorry to say that I haven't had time to do any more in the last year. It is something you need to practice often if you are doing drawers, etc. Good job, by the way!
