Masahiro Kudo
There's definitely a lot of people who are way better at this than I am, but I'm trying my hand at a dovetail box. It's not the most uniform thing, and some of my joints have larger gaps than others, but it does fit together tightly.
Dovetail !
1.5 oz. tequila
0.5 oz.–0.75 oz. maraschino liqueur
0.5 oz. lime juice
1 oz. grapefruit juice
2 dashes Peychaud’s Bitters
Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker with ice and shake hard for eight to 10 seconds. Strain up into a cocktail glass or coupe, and garnish with a grapefruit peel or lime wheel.

Problematic cleanliness gap
I've been teaching myself hand tool woodworking in an effort to really improve my skills. So I made this keepsake box for a dear friend. I visited her last weekend and had the best time ever.
I didn't use any power tools or fasteners. Just wood, glue, finish. It is made out of white oak and walnut for the little carved handle in the tray part. Cutting dovetails is challenging but very fun. It's nice to reconnect with the parts of making stuff that I really enjoy and finding new things to get excited about.
Dovetail and Reedsnap are...unconventional mates to say the least. Reedsnap always wanted to continue her legacy, evidence that she was here that would continue on for moons to come. Dovetail was the unassuming tom who just so happened to be at the perfect place at the perfect time for her to decide that he would be the father of said kits.
Despite a bit of an abrupt proposal, Dovetail had humoured the spitfire and the two genuinely enjoy the company of each other (even if they don't always see eye to eye).
Dovetail is level headed, laid back, with his head in the clouds. Reedsnap is blunt, ambitious, and opinionated. An odd mix but one that works for them, stepping in when the other either needs defending or to be told to calm down.
