i don't know about that jim, since i am the holder of all time record of english ivy plants killed (3 of them). after the warm up with the soup stir stick, got to work on the jardiniere stand. got the tenons on the legs cut, then the mortises. after that it was on to the upper supports. cut the notches and tenons, then cut the arcs and sanded them to the lines. after a quick test fit of the upper supports, and upper supports with the legs (i know, i know, looks kind of wobbly), then it was on to cutting the mortises in the feet, and the half laps. those were fun, as the one could be done with the router (with a prior pass on the table saw to establish where not to go), and the other was a combination router (to get what i could) and table saw (to get what i couldn't). then it was a final test fit of the base, and plopped the top on it to see how it would look. now all that is left for this is to sand everything to 220, and finish it the same as the clock.
