Keep it up and thanks for the entertainment.

Thanks Chipenter :thumbup:
Strangely enough, Andrew holloway and Green Oak Carpentry is about 4 or 5 miles down the road from me. I've done some English joints, so thought I'd have a go at some others.

I'd swear the the workshop teacher would deliberately give us bits with nasty knots in 'exactly' where he wanted a dovetail. He was an evil little welshman with a chip on his shoulder bigger than a trunk of English Oak !
What he didn't know was we'd take his nasty bits of knotty wood into the metalwork shop and cut the dovetails on the band saw, then clean them up with a chisel so he couldn't tell :ddb:

He didn't teach maths as well did he? reminds me of a teacher I had. When at college, we were given a chair project to do, I pinched all the non-knotty wood first, leaving the knots to everyone else!

I suppose were I to feel charitable towards him I'd say he did it so we would learn to overcome problems :clap:

Hmmm, I teach "metal work" to apprentices and the like. There are more than enough problems for them to overcome, without giving them more to do. He may just have been over-worked :bang: or not quite suited to the job :( (teaching can be harder than you think) or maybe he was just a short-a***d **** b*****d :loco:?
