ad lib



as each piece is made, fitted, tweaked, and assembled
the process begins to dictate design


I could never see this interplay until the pieces were there


I've outlined the glue-up, and practiced it twice


maybe more
I can't remember how many times these parts have been mated


what begins as a tough squeeze
loosens up
every joint begins to simply slide together after a few runs


which is perfect
glue will swell the wood slightly, and no matter how fast you work that joint will never slide together like it did dry
any sloppy fit needs to be remedied


it's there, everything is made
all the joinery complete
minus the four round mortice and tenons in the top


i don't even have words more most of these parts


they're all just parts


let the shaping begin!
