Holes

The work of the day.
Cutting my tenons (On the bench at the back) into the castle turret shapes.
These are so shaped in order to give a long tenon while also leaving islands of wood that will hold the sides of the end cap piece together.
Cutting mortise holes of the appropriate depths into the end cap pieces on the mortising machine, foreground. I nearly finished, but ran out of steam around half past six, so a couple more shallow holes to do on the piece in the machine here. Then lots of jiggery pokery with hand tools to get the pieces to fit snuggly and on to gluing and clamps.
