So..sitting around, half awake, watching the Woodwright's Shop re-runs....came upon one was Chris Schwarz showing off how the old sty;e "Campaign Furniture" was made....there was a corner joint he was demonstrating how to make....Didn't look like much on the outside.. Just a half lap joint? Until he showed the inside of the corner... Mine is in Pine, had a bit of some chip out....out the joint up just a bit... Dovetails?...could be... Yep, a bit of chip out going on there...May try the other 3 corners, and do a bit of Pract-izing... The only power tool involved, was the bandsaw, had a scrap of Pine 1 x 6, line of nail holes along one edge, big old knot on the other edge...ripped those off, then had to joint the sawn edge straight, had to make some shavings. To make all the edges the same... Jack plane is the one I just finished re-handling....seems to work nicely enough... Crosscuts? Yep, it was busy, today....then some shoulder cuts were needed... Saw down to the line, and stop....take the oard to the bench.. Wide chisel to pop the waste off, (Schwarz used a rebate plane, meh) Clean up with the chisel... Rebates are done...lay outs are next.. Marked as to which is the waste side of the lines...turn this around, so I can see better, and do a bit of sawing.. Now, you see that Red Devil putty knife? That gets hammered down into the kerf. Since the saw can't quite reach into the back corners... Chopping block....and chop out the waste....the other "half" of this joint also needs sawn, and chopped, half blind style....( first time through, I made the mistake of cutting the tails as a through dovetail joint... Cut the mistake off ( and the other end piece to match)...try again... Back to the saw, chop and fit...had to trace around the "pins" to layout the tails...Then check the result....had to use the mallet to assemble things... Have 3 more corners to work over...maybe I'll get this figured out by then Stay tuned... .
