Tony and Walt, thank you very much for your replies! Please accept my apologies for not responding sooner (it has been a busy week).
Tony's diagram approach is brilliant and so much smarter that what I have been trying to do with text and poorly lit pictures. Plus I have had some time to look it over more carefully. So, my attached overly simplistic and completely out of proportion drawing should help explain my little problem.
The arms are angled about 9.5 degrees. At the back of the front leg ("A") the arm is flush with the tenon cheeks. At the front of the from leg ("B") there is a gap. The diagram is really exaggerating the gap, but it is just under a 1/16th. So, my conclusion is I was just a tad off in cutting the angle on my arms. Given this should I:
1. Clamp the heck out of it to close the gap and hope the glue holds for 20-30 years? (kidding on this one).
2. Pare/chisel the tenon cheeks to a slight angle to compensate and get a flush fit.
3. Scrape/sand/cut/plane the underside of the arm to get a flush fit.
I'm guessing #2 is the best approach, but maybe there is something else? I'm a rookie on anything other than 90 degree angle furniture, so any advice is appreciated.
Thanks again, I really do appreciate your time and thought on this. I'm actually enjoying making this chair and my most valuable lesson so far is to calmly walk away and think out problems (or post online and have others think out problems for you).
