Thanks, Shawnee Hills Workshop! On these angled mortises it was the only way to go. And since I only had the narrow mortise chisel, it had to be completely chopped by hand. No drilling material out. I discovered drilling takes almost as long and tends to make the chisel steer unpredictably. Nothing beats a good sharp chisel. I should have mentioned I home it after each full mortise was complete. Joining only takes a few seconds but is oh so worth it!

Very nice work. Good and tight. What will the size of your table be?

Thanks, Jason! The finished size of the top is planned at 42-44” wide by 90-93” long. Top thickness will appear as 8/4, but we are working on a budget and have a bit of a trick planned.

No problem, Hector. I only stated it at the start of Part 1. The original Barnsley hayrake was English oak. This one will have an American black walnut top (my son wanted a dark top without any stain so dings from toddlers wouldn’t look as bad) and the base is rock maple, because he wanted a lighter base, and maple goes so well with walnut. The base also has walnut wedges and drawbore pegs.
