lap joints and straightlines

week two of the woodwork course and more practice at sawing a straight line through wood. After about 15 cuts on the slosh (Sue's term) I find myself wanting to smash the wood with the saw. We also had a go at our first lap joint, learnt about the rule of thirds and used a mortice gauge (the thing I've often seen at car boots and wondered what it was).
