Today's lesson was spent mostly cutting the pieces into each separate component, ready to be thicknessed to the right dimensions. This took about half the lesson, and the rest I spent mortising using the... you guessed it, mortiser. I don't have a photo of this yet, but will upload load one soon. (UPDATED: Found one image of the finished mortise. Also know include image of mortiser.)

This lesson was easy once I understood how to mark the legs out. I also worked with another person whilst using the mortiser, as it was much easier and sped the process up. Although there is not a lot to write about, mortising took a long time, and WAS HARD WORK !
