Sounds and looks like your off to a great start. Just take your time and all should come together fine. It’s real tempting to rush towards the end. Fight that urge. Make sure your to keep your tools sharp. When chopping the mortises, pay particular attention to the sounds and to how the chisel is cutting through the wood. Crushing and tearing are common complaints when working with construction grade lumber. Common causes are your chisel is not sharp enough, your trying to take too much wood with each pass or your hitting the chisel too hard.
