May 19, 201610 yr Laid out a few things today. I also installed a new blade in the bandsaw. Then, resawed a couple rails to almost where I wanted them... Not the best cuts. We have ways to fix that.. Just a jack plane. Used to be a pile of spare parts, not it is a Stanely #5, Type 17, or so..... Need to lay out where the two rails would go on the front and back posts. cut these rail to length, plus a little extra for tenons. Then cut the tenons. One rail is a bit wider than the other, as it will support the seat. Cut the tenons? Tried the bandsaw, didn't go too well. Drug out the Disston No.4 to make all the cuts. i also laid out where these will be on the posts.. There the lower one,and.. The upper/seat rail one. Grabbed a few other toys, time to go digging Just the basics, right? Chopped down a little over 1/2" deep closer to 1", would have to go back and look. Have to create a flat for the rail to sit down on. need to work on the upper one a bit more. Front post is done. Need to work on the rear post. Maybe some glue and pins later? Right now, I am having Homemade Veggie/beef Soup....we'll see IF I feel like going back down to the shop, later....stay tuned
