Tonight I flattened the underside of the bench top in preparation for the leg tenon mortises. Having the legs and stretchers flipped showed what could be a potential problem. I think I erred in only laying out a 3/4 inch shoulder. Since the legs will be more or less flush with the bench top this doesn’t leave much wood. Actually I’m fairly confident it’s enough but I’m also sure it’s one of those things that would gnaw at me over time. So to sleep better at night I decided to enlarge the outside shoulders a little. It was a good excuse to use my florip rip saw, however a ryoba was still needed for the crosscut.
