Dry fit #1
trying to get the top and bottom rails fitted....
Mitresaw to do a few shoulder cuts.....cheek cuts were done on the bandsaw..
Stanley#45 to plough a groove or two..then chop a mortise or two..
Did a few of these dry fits....and found out the panels were not quite right...1/8" off in length and width, and a touch out of square. Photo is after correcting that issue, and re-doing the raised panel bevels..
Until the grooves would fit, again.
Maybe today, I can get a few things done?
Hope to spread a bit of glue around,too...we'll see.
Stay tuned
Show me a picture, I'll build a project from that

Had to flatten a couple panels, after they had been trimmed to size

On the large glue up, I added pins to hold things better..

I think three hours in the shop is just about right for a session.
You don't put any finish on those panels before framing them?

I hate your guts.
Only because you have more motivation than me.
Good job on the build. Maybe you need to open a youtube channel and video your builds?

Work on the ends....
[attachment=4627]
panel was raised..
[attachment=4628]
Stiles cut to length and width. A foot profile was made to match the existing ones...
Used these to determine the sizes of the rails....length and width...
[attachment=4629]
Set a jig or two, for the Stanley No.45 to mill a bunch of grooves, to house the panel..
[attachment=4630]
And cut a few tenons...
[attachment=4631]
That backsaw had other chores to do. Shoulder cuts were done on the Langdon Mitre Box....cheek cuts were via the bandsaw.
Came back after Supper, chopped a few mortises, and did the glue up. Let that sit for the day...
Need to raise the other panel, cut a few tenons, and chop a few more mortises. Maybe Wed. I can have the last end panel glued up?
Then some assembly....we'll see how things go, stay tuned
