Reply To: Building a sawbench

I finally got some time spent in the shop working on my sawbench. Last time I posted the pieces got milled to dimensions.

Today was spent cutting the joinery between the legs and the benchtop. Had a great time sawing, chiseling and routing (plane).

As you can see in the picture I got all the joints to fit tighly. The legs stay in place without glue.

Wise of age and experience (hehe) I call it a day before the glue up. That’s a task better done well rested tomorrow.

And when the legs are glued in place I shall start thinking about the three pieces that will form the “undercarrige” to stabilize the legs.

That’s all for now folks! 😛
