other.) Mark all the mortise center points on each pair before drilling to ensure that you mortise the correct edges of each leg. 2 Form the mortises, following the multi-step sequence outlined in the Mortise-Forming Detail on the previous page.

CUTTING AND TENONING THE OTHER FRAME MEMBERS

1 Cut the side rails (D), center rail (E), and lower rails (F) to the sizes listed in the Bill of Materials. Cut the stretcher (G) to size plus 1" in length. Cut the seat rails (H, I), armrests 0). backrest top (K), and the backrest bottom (I.) to size. (Do not make the contour cuts on D, E, and J yet; you'll cut them to shape after tenoning.)

2 Cut tenons on both ends of the side rails (D), lower rails (F), seat rails (H, I), the back end of the armrests (J), and both ends of the backrest top and bottom (K, L). Refer to the Side and Center Rail Grid for the tenon sizes on the side rails (D). See the Armrest Drawing, for the tenon size on the armrest, and refer to the details on the Exploded-View Drawing for tenon sizes on the backrest

top and bottom (K, L). Cut the rest of the tenons on the remaining pieces (F, H, I) using the shoulder dimensions on the Tenon Forming Drawing at right.

3 Cut a V" dado Vs" deep in each lower rail (F) where shown on the Exploded-View Drawing.

4 Cut the side rails (D) and center rail (E) to shape using the Side and Center Rail Grid as a guide.

5 Cut the armrests to final shape using the Armrest Drawing on page 70 as a guide.

HOW TO ASSEMBLE THE END SECTIONS

I Dry-clamp the legs (A, B) and rails (D, F) together. Square each assembly, and slide the tenon on the armrest into its mating mortise in the rear leg. Hold the armrest firmly against the tenoned top of the front leg, and mark the location of the mortise needed on the bottom side of each armrest. Remove the armrest.

2 To form the mortise on the bottom side of each armrest, use a flat-bottomed bit, and drill a W-deep hole at each corner of your layout lines. Now, drill overlapping holes to remove stock and finally, chisel the mortise clean.

3 Check the fit of the end sections again with the armrests in position. Now, glue and clamp the end sections together, checking both for square. Position, but DO NOT glue the armrests to their mating parts at this point. You'll do this later, after the seat slats have been attached.

NOW, COMPLETE THE FRAME AND Blin.D THE BACKREST

1 Dry-clamp the seat rails (H, I) and backrest top and bottom

(K, I.) between the end assemblies and check for square. Measure the distance between the dadoes in the lower rails (F), and cut the stretcher (G) to fit. Remove the clamps and disassemble.
