…if any one is still interested.. 

someone did ask for photos/comments, so I know at least 1 person is !

so progress to date…   ..still need to complete a little keeper for the 4 bits
that will go with the driver - this will be installed on the left hand side.
Then oiling and then hinges/catches.

there are comments attached to each photo - you need to open them to read it…

my comments are….quite easy of course, but time consuming to make sure the
joints are cut nicely in the soft timber.   Now I know what to expect, I hope
the next one will be better.

I will try cutting the next lot of joints  with a Chisel only and not use the
saw at all.  Should be an interesting experiment but will probably be after
Christmas.

Cheers
