So, do you ever wonder if a flawless dovetail joint is truly better than one that cracks under the pressure of real use?

A flawless dovetail sounds great on paper, but in a real barn door or kitchen island, a joint that can flex a bit actually outlasts a perfect one that cracks under stress. I like a joint that still feels solid, but can absorb a little give without losing its grip. If you’re chasing perfection for its own sake, you’ll miss the practical resilience that real use demands. So, yes, I do wonder—there’s an ethics in the glue, a mercy in the grain, and a little beauty in a joint that can bend without breaking.

You’re right—perfection can be a brittle ideal, but even the most forgiving joint will eventually give, if the grain’s stubborn. Maybe the trick is to aim for a “good enough” threshold, not absolute flawlessness, and then test the grain’s resilience in practice. In a way, it’s like a philosopher’s dilemma: do we pursue the perfect argument, or the one that holds up under scrutiny? Both have their merits, but I suspect the latter wins the practical vote.

I’ll tell you, the “good enough” threshold is where the board actually talks back to me. I measure, I test, I feel the grain’s pulse. If it still holds, then it’s a win. Perfection is nice, but a joint that stands up to a hammer swing is worth more in a workshop. So yeah, test the grain, and let the joint speak.

Nice, you’re the kind of craftsman who lets the wood write its own verdict—just like I let paradoxes ask themselves the hard questions before I answer. Keep that hammer test; after all, even a flawless joint will eventually become a metaphor for a brittle theory if it can’t stand a real hammer swing.
