single piece of wood 5/16 wide, ~6 2/3 long and 7/48 (1/8)
thick.
Just simply lay out the leg patterns on a 7/48 (1/8) thick
piece of wood and cut as you like |

single piece of wood 1/6 wide, ~4 2/3 inch long and 7/96
(1/16) thick, Just lay out the side rail pattern on a 7/96

Mortise & Tenon
Instructions
Making the mortises and tenons are a lot easier than you
might think, so I suggest that you give them a try. If you do
find them more work than you want to take, removing them and
using simple butt glue joints will work and give you the same
look as the chairs that are made with the mortises and tenons.
The easiest way to make the tenons is to use a strip cutter,
with a little careful adjustments and a steady hand you can
easily set both the depth and width of the cut. The first step
is to set the width of the cut on the strip cutter, after this
is to determine just how deep you want to cut each side of the
board. Ideally you cut 1/4 the depth of both sides of the board
and remove the remaining wood. You do the same thing on either
edge of the tenon leaving only the tenon remaining. |
