on the neverending quest for wood.....
Are those hand-chopped mortises (probably a dumb question in the Neanderthal Haven!?!) The cheeks look nice and smooth!
Looks good Tim. Did you move already? Let me know and I'll drop by to see what you are doing.

I'm still in San Leandro. My new house isn't slated to be ready until late winter/early spring. We just listed the current house last week. If we sell early, we'll move in with family in Dublin - but I'll likely have to stop any cabinetmaking since I don't think they'll let me take up a car's garage spot to set up a workbench and store clamps and other toolery.Originally Posted by Michael Perata
Mark - those are hand chopped mortises...but I pare the sides after chopping most of the waste. Hence, the apparent nice smooth sides. Photos are great because they tend to conceal A LOT . Gaps and irrgularities that are glaring when looked at by eye disappear through the lens of a camera

Tim,
Very nice project and great progress pics. Something I never seem to do...I am always in a hurry to finish. Really well documented and nice proceedure through the project.
