Ladderback Progress

Here I am gluing up the rear legs, they are laminated out of 7 5/16th slices ripped on the tablesaw. Man do I love those giant C-clamps. I let each leg cure for 2 hours before pulling them out and jointing the edges.

Now I'm surfacing the apron pieces, I just love the bench hook, one of my favorite tools. As you can see I'm a member of the "planes on their side" club.

All the pieces cut and ready for drilling, in the interest of time for this Furniture Design class I'm going to dowel the parts together. My next will be m&t (mortise and tenon, jeff).

The glue up, pretty painless, I'm a bit surprised.
