A dovetail epiphany


I just figured out when cutting the tails, by looking at the reflection
of the board
in the saw, if the board and refection are 'straight' then the saw is
at right angles.

Maybe I'm learing something.

Indeed you are. You can also use it to eyeball a miter and you can do
the same thing with chisels.

Does this mean I have to keep my saw clean and polished?
