But it seems as though the back and forth and slight lean forward made the back....unhappy....Ok, Sit for a day and a half, HOT heating pad on the lower back. NORCO5s to "mellow" the back out enough that I could walk more than 10' without an "OUCH!" Had a few toys..er...TOOLS to take down to the shop. I figured IF I took things slow and very easy, I could get down the steps to the shop. As long as I didn't lean over things for a better view, I would avoid the "OW!!!". With that in mind, I tried some layout, some saw cuts with the correct saw, and a few whacks on some chisels....Laid out some stuff close to where I would be working
324940
The handles sticking up, are some of the chisels I'll will use, keeps them from rolling onto the floor if I stick them in the Dog holes. That router bit? Used that to layout the shaped, angles, and spacing of the pin boards. Stanley bevel gauge to continue the lines. A small square to carry the lines around. As for the "correct" saw?
324941
Seems to be a later model disston No.4 with 9ppi filed rip. 14" long plate. I was taughtt that if I bought a saw, to use the entire length of the plate. made things cut faster. had a small candle, and rubbed a bit of wax on the plate right at the tooth line.

laid out all the pins, sawed the pins by splitting the lines. Chopped the pins was easy, I let gravity assist the mallet driving the chisels. Pin boards were are each end of this board
324943
Then I used the pins to lay out the tails. Handplane was to clean things up a bit. Lines were sawn on the waste side, leaving the lines. The the chisels went to work again.

Keep getting knots in the wrong spots. Test fits, cuss fits, pare things a bit, test fits, cuss fits, pare a sliver more....until things would slide together..
324945
Back was just starting to stiffen a bit. I did get a small start on a handle to carry this thing around with..
324947
Have to someday( back willing) chop two mortises on the ends to house this handle, make a cutout for my fat fingers to fit through, and add the bottom. At this rate, I MIGHT be done about.....Turkey day??
Ok, back is stiffer than them pine boards, time to retreat back to the heating pad, and the NORCO5 bottle. Another hour or so, I will have the back ( and me) feeling Happy, happy.....
