Update: I just cut my 500th dovetail by hand and the number kind of shocked me

I was cleaning up my bench last night and found a stack of old practice pieces in a drawer. I started counting them out of curiosity, and between those and the real projects, I hit 500. It took me about three years of weekend work to get there. The first fifty were pretty rough, but around number 200, things started to feel smooth. Now I'm curious if other people track stuff like this, or if I'm just weird. What's a skill you've practiced so much you lost count?

That's an INSANE number, congrats! I totally get it, I stopped counting how many dogs I've given teddy bear cuts after the first year.

Yeah @campbell.stella, the numbers just get crazy after a while.

Stopped counting after the first year" is a real flex honestly.
