The top is all done, dogholes are cut, and tenons are glued and pegged with 3/8" oak pegs.
I made a lot of progress on the bench's undercarriage, the legs are mortised into the top with 1" long tenons, those blocks coming out of the top of the legs will be lag-bolted to the top. They too are mortised to the legs.
The legs in the rear photo might look weird. That's because I goofed and on the right, I made the mortise's edge at 16" from the end (correct), but the left one was 15" (incorrect), so the stretcher was offset in order to be parallel. I bought some 2" hickory for the vises.
I also bought some more tools, a LN 102, and these microplanes, which I used to shape this handle (which is still in progress).
That's all for now, I am now going to focus on the wagon vise.
