Two legs complete!

Today I finished my fourth mortise, which means I now have my first two legs ready to go.

The fourth mortise was as good or even slightly better than the third, which is pretty good going, considering it’s a longer mortise and in a more difficult position.

I’m really happy with this result. The good alignment on the third mortise could have been a fluke, but with two good ones in a row I’m more confident that my current approach is genuinely helping.

What’s next

Cutting the rails to length, planing them flat & square and then cutting some tenons.
