November 25, 201213 yr Author Thanks guys--this was a fun little projectTo John--I did the tenons on all of the 3/8" x3/4" rails using my bandsaw tenoning jig. For the tenons on the bottom stretchers I set up a jig on the router table to make 1/4" round tenons on the ends of the 3/8" x 3/8" piecesThey are sitting on a maple bench I made about 20 years ago.Mike'why buy it if you can build it'www.midlothianwoodworks.com
