| « Part 2: Starting the base | Part 3 of Building The Holtzapffel Workbench series | Part 4: Update on the bench » |
I had a few hours to work in the shop before the Super Bowl started. I was able to hog out all of the mortises. The router and drill press combination worked out really nice.
I had time to clean out the mortises in two of legs and fit one of the small stretches into the mortises.
So far the fit is working out pretty well. I still have a little more tweaking to do on some of the shoulders, but over all not too bad.

So far so good. I am surprised that you weren’t on such an adrenaline rush from working on this bench that you simply forgot about the Superbowl.
I guess we must have our priorities in life.
Besides you can’t rush good craftmanship.

Mike,
I am really anxious to see how this turns out. It looks like the edges of your stock are really crisp and square. I would recommend easing all of the edges with a slight roundover, they will wear better.

Todd – yes the edges are still “hard”. I plan to chamfer them before I assemble the base.
Eric – Thanks. I’ve been enjoying your blog. Keep it up.
Scott – Yes being in the shop would be perfect, but watching the Super Bowl and surfing woodworking sites is a close second :).
