Now that the mortises have been marked, I will use the mortise machine for the majority of the work. Some finishing up is required, but the whole process is much faster than doing it by hand... especially with a reasonably hard wood like beech!

| Set up the mortise machine (this took about 15 min) |

| First vertical completed.... |

| And done with the mortise machine - some hand chisel cleanup is still needed |
At this point, the next step is a dry (no glue) assembly, to ensure all the parts fit together as desired. In my case, adjustments WILL be needed. This fitting step will help ensure that the final assembly goes smoothly, and the end product is of the desired qality.
