Machine Production Techniques - Lesson Eleven

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 !
