I really like the close-up video approach -- and the nice work. (But it sure confirmed my strong preference for cutting the tails first!)

Thanks for the idea of using a ruler or chisel to get an exaggerated view of the squareness of the pins. Also thanks for taking time to do it right. Too many dovetail videos are about doing it fast.
