Looks good Just curious, why use so many small pieces instead of dadoing  long side?

Mostly because this way makes the final assembly easier.  That spline in the long rail lets everything index nicely so that the slats are all flush with one another.  I probably got thinking that way because I'm going to ship all the parts and then show up and assemble them, so I'm doing what I can to make the final glue up as easy as possible.

 

I also tend to find this kind of design easier to execute and more visually pleasing when done, but that is all six of one.  Others would have different approaches and all work ok.  That's one of the things I like about woodworking, tons of ways to do any particular job.

What the heck did I miss Gramps! I had no idea you were having these issues! Are they going to remove the stones?

Exactly what I was thinking! Haven't been around much for the past ten days, and I come back to see THIS! Praying for you, @Grandpadave52. Good to see you have a room with a view, anyway!

Guessing the nurses aren't much to look at?

Set is 95% ready.  Still doing some tweaking for Weekend shows. Not shown are the two picnic tables and 4 benches  and the two 8x14 high rolling platforms with big TV screens and a printed vinyl pattern of large speakers.  Cabin on the left has a fireman's pole and cabin on the right has a slide on the side. 

 We don't do minimal sets.

 

 

 

Middle photo has my granddaughter off to the left in the blue dress and white jacket.  She's got the female lead role.

Cool! Now I understand how you got involved with the "Arts" 

 Thoughts and prayers for you @Grandpadave52. Hope you are feeling better by now.

Thank you all for your positive support and prayers. Finally got home late Saturday afternoon. My sincerest apologies for taking time to respond although I did manage to read them. First 3 days were pretty rough with multiple contributors. Beyond that, a few new twists to navigate were added.

 

Life is good. We're thankful and at peace. Working hard to regain strength. Again my apologies. Y'all are the best.
