Well getting close, anyway.

 

Chopped and fitted the stretchers to a front post..

Tenons  go into housed mortises.  Saw down a hair, chisel away until the stretcher fits flush to the post

Shape, sand fill, sand some more...after it is all glued up.  Laid out for the rocker that goes into the other set of posts..

Clamp the rockers together, transfer where the posts go.    Set the square to mark for an 1/8" deep bridle joint recess.

One done, do the other three, and layout the other half of the joints, the notched ends of the posts

Saw a few lines, so I can chop and file, and coping saw away the waste..

 

Short post is almost flat across, the rear one? Not so flat.  

 

Test fits.   need to settle each down a bit.   Back one IS leaning a bit to the rear, though.    Fun part was clamping BOTH sides into the vise....needed to mark where the stretchers will go.    Then..BANDSAW two new stretchers, as I forgot to cut both sets.   Will need to joint those with a plane..later.   For some reason, just a little tuckered out.....whew...

Will you pin the "legs" to the rockers with pegs?

that is the plan...

way cool
