Morris Chairs #2: Rough cuts and leg glue ups

Ah, the glue-up. I’m glad you’re veneering the legs. My bedroom suite has exposed laminations and although it looks pretty good, it could be better. I see you have the same hodge-podge of clamps from Harbor Freight that I do. Do you have a mortising machine, or will you be doing the mortises by hand?

I do have a mortisng machine, but it’s not friendly to use so we’ll have to see how bad my arm aches after the first few mortises. A hodge podge of clamps is right, pipe clamps from Woodcraft and Pony and the F-style from Harbor Freight, but not nearly enough. That’s why I am only doing 2 legs at a time.

I really need to build another bench. Mine is a few 2X4’s slapped together with an old computer desk top from Ikea slapped on top. Not enough weight to it and I need more assembly room.
