Fabulous video. I am an experienced woodworker, but at this stage of my life I want to focus more on hand work. Absolutely love the simplicity and confidence of your approach. Wood is such a forgiving medium and I really appreciate that you teach that very good results can be reached without having to purchase thousands of dollars in tools. Thank you!! I'll be watching

Aren't the pins too narrow and tails too wide? I would think the join would be stronger if they were similar in size.
