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!
