I figured i would post a quick progress note. I have cut all the tenons for the case and fitted them. Here is a shot of the dry fit. I still need to lay in the dovetailed stretchers on the top. That will be tomorrow.
I won’t bore anyone with making tenons.
It’s coming along pretty well. I’ll be shaping cloud lifts by Saturday.

What’s a cloud lift, and does shaping == a shaper, or something else?

Hi Ben,
Look back at the first part of this blog. It is in 5 parts. You will see a sketchup model of the project. You can also see a jpeg in my latest project section. The cloudlift is the shape of the rails. i will be using template routing to shape them.

Scott,
A quick review of how you did the tenons/shoulders on the front stretchers w/the mortise in a tapered leg wouldn’t bore me at all… They look quite smart.
