The boy child and wife are expecting our second Grandpeanut next month and the new Momma wants a changing table. Not a clue why, most of the time a changing table gets 6-8 months use and then it is a dust catcher. But whatever, that's the current project. No need to dig out the good wood for the project so it will be Poplar with Milk Paint. Most of the mortises are narrow and deep so this time I decided to drill and pare instead of just using one of the pig stickers and chopping. I have to say with a good set of Jennings bits and a brace things have gone very well. It is much easier with better results than using the drill press and Forstner bits.
I've just a couple more mortises to go and then it is on to sawing and fitting the tenons and a couple of dovetails to finish the base.
A couple of the mortises:
