Since one end looked the best, I started there,
Attachment 519331
Just hold them square...use one of the 2" wide rails...mark where the tenon meets the groove...square a line across...
Attachment 519333
then, mark for the raised panel....then a rail..and continue down to the bottom..
Attachment 519339
End with another 2" wide rail...add 3" below that for a Foot...after that?
Attachment 519339
Is to be cut off as scrap...a pattern for the foot?
Attachment 519340
Which can wait a bit...
Stay tuned..

During the Lay out..
Attachment 519341
Decided to see what one side of the chest will look like...8 raised panels...to match the 8 drawers this will have..2" wide rail at the top, and other at the bottom..
had a few panels that will need fine tuned for fit & finish..
Can now set all parts aside, except for..
Attachment 519342
One Stile...bottom end is in the leg vise...middle rests on a stock rest..
Attachment 519343
Had to reach across the bench with a clamp...to hold the far end...had to also allow for the Stanley No.45's fence to go by..
Attachment 519344
And keep the Plane Lube handy..
Attachment 519345
Just a plain old candle...after the first 3 passes, I rub a bit of wax into the Groove-to-be...
I guess I am ready to plough some grooves?
Stay tuned..

Making Crispy Ash Noodles..yum..
Attachment 519346
about every 3 pass, rub a bit of wax along the groove...tight squeeze..
Attachment 519347
Had to make sure I was going the right direction, and NOT tear this spot up..
Attachment 519348
Used one of the panels to check the depth...had to raise the depth stop twice...then the rebate fit all the way down into the groove...
Got 2 Stiles done..was running low on "Get-up-and-go" stopped and laid out the Mortises I need to chop..
Attachment 519349
Will start on those once the other 2 stiles have their grooves done..
Will need that Narex 8mm Mortise Chisel for the Mortises...and the Jig to hold the Stiles while I chop the Mortises out..
Been a very busy 3 days...
Attachment 519351
Getting filled up...
Attachment 519352

Fire Pit...
Attachment 519446
First 2 stiles have their grooves done...#3?
There were issues..served me right for working on a Monday..
First..the cutter in the Stanley 45 was acting up...got to looking at it a bit better...instead of straight, it was shaped like..) that. could either center the bevel in the plane, OR have the depth adjuster pin IN the groove of the cutter...just NOT at the same time...replaced the #14 cutter with a better one..and centered the cutter on the stile's edge..
Attachment 519447
At one end of Stile #3..there was a split...and ploughing a groove did not help matters...
Attachment 519448
Almost a foot long...finished the rest of the groove, then a repair was made..
Attachment 519449
Then set #3 over with the first 2 stiles...
Attachment 519450
so I could add the groove to #4 Stile...
Attachment 519451
2 stiles done...made a mess on the floor, again..
Attachment 519452
Stay tuned..

So...
Attachment 519475
We have a foot for the case to stand on.
Cleared off the top of the bench a bit...and set up a Mortise Jig..
Attachment 519476
Attaches to the bench top, right over the top of a leg...no bounces...Visegrips to clamp a part into the Jig
Attachment 519477
And, I am able to do 2 mortises, before I need to move the Stile..
Main chisel used..
Attachment 519478
Just a "Cheapy" same with the mallet...Wall E World "Hyper Tough"...
had a few skinnier chisels, to LIFT the chips up and out of the mortises..
Attachment 519479
First Mortise was for the bottom wide rail...dry fit..
Attachment 519480
Rail has a haunched tenon.
Attachment 519481
Short section to fill the groove, long section for the mortise...
Stay tuned..

Narrow rails used a simpler mortise..
Attachment 519482
Have the top and bottom wide rails and 7 narrow rails..
Got about halfway along the Stile,,rotated the stile, and worked on the last mortises...had just the top mortise to do..
Attachment 519483
Have to avoid any breakout..
Attachment 519484
Dry fits?
Attachment 519485
Top rail, raised Panel, and a narrow rail...will need to fine tune the rebates on the raised panels..some are a tad too FAT.
Stay tuned..

Maybe later today?
Attachment 519510
Move things around, and chop the 9 mortises in Stile #3...to match Stile #4's 9...and prep things for a glue up?
Then, while Side #1 sits in the clamps for a few days....I can repeat for the other side of the case...

Rails needed to look spiffy, of course..all 9 of them..first task was deciding which face looked the best..
Attachment 519555
And which didn't quite make the grade...flipped this one over..
Attachment 519556
And ran the #80 until the rails were smooth...some were close enough, that all I did was just sand them to 180 grit..
Then..the "FUN" could begin...
Stay tuned..
