Rails and tenons – Bed Side Table

After squaring my pieces up nice and neat, and then laying out the tenons.  I used the following process to cut the 14 12 tenons in the project

Step 1: Using a shim the same size as the tenon plus the blade width, I cut the cheeks of the tenon to the lay out line.

Step 2: Then I cut the tenon waste off with my hand saw.

Step 3: After lining up the tenon with the mortises, I cut the ears to fit.
