/diy/ - Do It Yourself

retard here again, had some time to work on my workbench some more. finished the stretchers and tusked wedges. now the base assembly is complete.

for the mortise in the legs I tried copying the layout lines to the other side and chiseling in from both sides. but the legs must have not been perfectly square as the mortise didn't meet in the middle.
when I did the mortises for the stretchers I put a backing board and tried chiseling all from one side which that gave considerable tear out. I just continued cause doing the 5 degree angle for the wedge would be too hard when chiseling from both sides.
the base is still rock solid so guess it doesn't matter much.
