re: Getting started

I had a GREAT morning in the shop. Bluegrass on the radio and tools in my hand make for a wonderful morning. Got the main mortise holes for the legs drilled. They are not exactly perfectly angled but good enough for who its for (lol me). Im really trying to free myself from my normal constraints with this project. Normally I am so worried about screwing up a piece of wood or messing up a tool that I really started to loose the enjoyment of woodworking. With this im just saying F it and going for it. Its really made the process much much more enjoyable for me and I am loving it. I also spend some time on the lathe without relying on my carbide tools. I have never used standard lathe tools but had some old ones laying around so I just went for it. I did one test leg in some very old oak and it turned out surprisingly well! Make woodworking fun again! 

The pic of the brace setup is deceiving, the angles are not THAT far off 😅😅
