Q.E.D.

Is the hand cut dovetail any stronger than a well executed machine
made dovetail? I don't think so and, with some of the skinny little
pins I see out there, many of them are less strong.

That hand cut dovetail is an 'homage' to the traditions of the craft
and is something that a customer will pull open to show a visitor to
their home and say, "Those dovetails were cut by hand, can you believe
it?"

And they are willing to pay for that pleasure.

God Bless their pea-pickin' hearts..(tef...rip)
