...small piece at a time. So no spectacular progress, but progress anyway. I made a jig for the back-leg surface which meets the hand rest, the same way as was instructed for the joint surface. Worked as planned, and now the surfaces are nice and flat, and ready to glue.
The other thing I managed today was the routing of the joints for the backlegs. Again, I made a jig. It didn’t exactly “work like a charm”, but with careful set-up, I managed to machine the joints. As with the front legs, the routing leaves some fine-tuning to be done with hand tools – which is OK of course.
It seems I still haven’t made a fatal mistake. Next thing is the fine tuning of the backlog joints, and then it will be grinding-time…
