Was finally able to work for more than 1hr in the shop w/o freezing to death. 65deg. today! :) I was able to fit the tennons and mortise them for the wedges. It don't seem like much by looking at it but I'm not used to doing M&T's and these were all angled which confused me even more! 10deg. on the head/footboard and the top rails are at 67deg or something like that. Needless to say, things didn't come out as expected. Just have to cut the wedges to size and finish it. Using Velvit Oil then wax. Felt GREAT to be out working again!! Thank goodness for Spring!!!

All those angles confuse me too. That's why I stick with what I do.

It sure is pretty though. Can't wait to see it all finished and full.

Joe -

Looks like you figured out the angles just fine. When will it have something in it? And a picture of it full?

Well done!
