I making this with alder. I finished milling the boards and gluing section together to get the depth I want. Now on to clean up, rabbets for the back panel and slots for shelf.
Today I received my 16″ Bad Axe Tenon Saw. Its a big saw and when I unwrapped it, I was really glad I didn’t order the larger saw because it has a fair amount of weight to it.
Just so you know, I’m 5′ 6″ and I don’t have small hands. The saw felt good in my hands but its heavier than any saw I own. I’m also a very reluctant and very new sawyer. My table saw still does, and probably always will, scare the begesus out of me. And I will probably never own a big collection of hand saws.
Mill the board, cut it in half and label pins and tails.
Cut a shallow rabbet on the inside of the tail board to accept the pin piece later.
