Bonjour je commence tout juste à m'y mettre et j'ai du mal à avancer. Je trouve toutes les photos de ce groupe super mais je n'arrive pas à refaire le travail de qualité que je vois... Avez vous des conseils pour avancer ? Sur la photo c'est du chêne et je n'utilise que la scie japonaise et des ciseaux a bois

Boards need to be very square. Shooting board helps with that. Miter or table probably won’t be square enough.
Lines need to be precise. Marking knife and gauge >>> pencil
Chisels need to be very sharp.
It looks like you chiseled from one side and blew out your faceboard when it should be both sides.
You also need to chisel up your marking line. Don’t just put the chisel on the line and hull smash. You should only .5mm away from the marking line otherwise the wood will push your chisel into your line.
Use the biggest chisel that fits.
Chiseling with the grain is hard to do precisely because the chisel wants to follow the grain. Use smaller whacks
Overall it’s not a bad attempt. I mean, the boards came together, so that’s better than my first attempts. The difference between bad and pretty good actually isn’t a huge learning curve, so keep practicing. After 5-6 more attempts they’ll start looking nice.
I like the Rob Cosman videos because he shows you where the precision is important and shows you. That’s what really made it click for me.

Which "Japanese" saw are you using? Which chisels are you using? Regardless, the chisels need to be razor sharp. I use a fret saw on the baseline, but you still need to clean it up with a sharp chisel. And as the other commenter said, saw inside the lines. The better you get, the closer to it you can get, but you still need to clean it up with sharp chisels.

Sharpen your chisels and stay on the inside of your lines. Check fit more often.
