Today I cut the legs to length, & Cut the mortises for the aprons.
I was setup my mortising attachment to my drill press. My Grizzley crossfeed vise was bolted to the table. I thought, why not use this when cutting the mortises. So I tried it out, & worked great. Once I got it all sqaured up, I drilled out all the mortises in no time at all. I tried making a short video,
so I’ll try embed it to this Blog. I hope I can make it work.
Here’s a photo of the completed mortises.

They came out a lot cleaner than mine. I made a mortiser out of my router, it worked ok but it just was’nt as clean looking as my old mortising attachment. I got my table cut and planed down to 3/4’’ from an inch. hated doing that. What wood are you using, looks like walnut? Looks good though, you said you got your aprons done? Or just the templates. I could’nt work today, just did too much the last two days. Had to lay low and rest my back and rearend. jockmike

Looks great Dick. I’m really beginning to worry about the time I will have to work on the project. Glad to see you and others are well under way… Those mortises sure do look nice.

Nice legs Dick. And I mean that in the manliest way possible of course.
