got quite a bit done on this today. cut the mortises in the legs for the shelves, chamfered both ends of the legs, cut the shelves to width, and did a test setup. fitted the back parts to the shelves, and trimmed down the top one to finished height. then cut the tenons on the top and bottom side parts, and cut the mortises for the spindles. then test fitted the side parts to the legs, and cut the spindles to length. after that, it was tidy up the shop, as it is back to work for another three days. once the the tenons on the spindles are cut, and a full test setup is done, the construction part of this project is finished, and it is on to the sanding and finishing.
