Q.E.D.


Querulous Expert Disagrees?

But seriously folks: Yer Quod, I believe, was about economics.

I can hand dovetail a simple through dovetail drawer in half an hour.

Until I get beyond about six drawers I can't overcome the setup time
for the Leigh Jig, nor can I deall with the chunking and tearout,
which I don't get when cutting by hand.

So, Yer Demonstrandum is undemonstrated.

And Yer Erat moves into the column for Errata.
