Second attempt at dovetails

http://imgur.com/ry0n7ki

Here's my second go-round at cutting dovetails by hand. These ones are in soft maple and turned out pretty well. I went chunky because my first attempt I had some troubles with really narrow pins. This time I went very slow and calculated too. My first set was in a weekend workshop as taught by Roy Underhill (which is awesome - highly recommend), and was a little rushed trying to get everything done on time. How'd I do?

Aside: Sorry for potato quality picture. I'd like to get a nice camera, but I keep coming home with more chisels, planes, saws or clamps.
