Thanks Arctain !
I have continued working with hand tools and, as a matter of fact, completed a bow saw (just not Paul Sellers version) which came out quite nice. I just moved on from that design (maybe over-kill for a “newbie” ?). I mean determining the EXACT center for the mortise, lining up the tenon to EXACTLY fit into the mortise would have been difficult enough for a “newbie” but to add a curve into the mortise just went too far, in my estimation. You’ve got to walk before you run and it’s very important for those new to hand tools to have successes in order to build confidence. When you are handed frustration after frustration after frustration then maybe it’s time to move to another site which will offer the occasional success….
Just sayin’…..
