A little more as it is getting closer.


The first step is to align all the arms and mortices ...





There was a lot of scribing, fitting, scribing and more fitting.


Finally the shaping of the underside of the arms was possible as it was now possible to determine the general position of the mortises.





The waste was removed with a bandsaw and coping saw ..





Now the specific position for the mortices was fixed with dowel pointers ...





Drilled and dowelled ..





And the arms fitted to check that all will fit at the end ...





Shaping to come.
