Moving along on the chairs, even tho pre-finishing has presented some unique problems. Working on the arms and sides and was wondering if anyone ever makes a physical connection between the 2 other than the thru mortises, which, as you can see, are not part of the assembly. Yet. What I was thinking of doing was to make a long 1/4" mortise in the top of the upper side rail and a corresponding mortise in the bottom of the arm and assembling them with glued loose tenons. I'm just kinda curious what others have done with this.
