I'm shooting from the hip here, doing something like what Krenov called composing. Working this way is really nice, compared to a very regimented project working by eye and your sense of relationships. It's like sketching with a solid piece of wood.

Welsh Stick Chair-Drilling
If you're not familiar with Peter Galbert, or his blog Chair Notes, I suggest you check it out. Since about a year ago when I started compiling project photos for Windsor/stick chairs I've been following him, and today it paid off in a big way. This post, has a great explanation of sightlines and computing the resultant angles based on orthographic views. I'd also much rather do some geometry than bust out the trig.
