Well, that went well!

This afternoon, it was out with the mortise gauge. Soon, the components of Sylvia’s desk frame were dimensioned, using the bandsaw to remove the bulk of the waste, followed by a final finish with my jointer plane.

All thicknessed, and ready to be cut to final length. Tomorrow, after a morning at the local surgery, I will draw out the joiners rod and start work on the joints.

A couple of hours work, and the excitement builds!
