With my mortise jig complete, the process of measuring and marking begins. I’ve repeated enough steps on this project and take extra care to make sure everything goes right the first time. The first time of course did not include the two additional mortises and tenons I chopped because I put two in the wrong spot. The extra cross member didn’t hurt though and everything went well.

The care certainly paid off and everything fits snugly.

I still have to plane the carcass sides and tidy up before attaching the back. Hope everyone had a good Father’s Day.
