Aha, whilst cutting out the next “lap-joint” (oh hello…erm, what is your name? Susan. I couldn’t see your name badge…mind you I’m not sure where you’d put a name badge!)

Oh! Where was I, yes, the next lap joint.  I cut two extra slots across this, about ½” apart.  The wood chunks popped out very nicely from this and went all the way across so I didn’t have to turn it over to come in from the other side.  I stopped a couple of mm above the line, then just pushed the chisel down vertically, this sliced the wood out easily and left a nice smooth surface at the bottom of the joint, I believe you need a nice sharp chisel for this;






Five tenons and two lap-joints done and still loads of time for doing the next bits, plus sitting down with a cup of tea (no hob-nobs though, the b****y apprentice scoffed the lot when I wasn’t looking!);



see you later!

RossJarvis:
Oooh, just sat down on the sofa for a minute to rest my eyelids and look, here we are three hours later. The “apprentice” wanted to go round the park for a walk with a couple of tennis balls, and as I’m sure any trades-people here will know, all he did was get into a fight and sit on his balls for a while!  Won’t do any fetching or carrying that lad!  Just need a cuppa, then I’ll pop out and see to the timber.
