The various goings on in my workshop
Next up was attaching the decorative pieces and the slots for the handle, these were all glued and nailed Repeated for the other side. Marking and cutting the holes in the legs with the domino. these all need to be cut from both sides to make through holes. Two rear legs and 2 front supports.…
