Frame on the bench

Lots of little miter joints as well as mortise and tenon numbers for the top of the frame. The opening window will be on the other side. I have prepared a rebate for it, but so far it is still a thing of the future. I found it easier to concentrate once Osamu had set off yesterday and having heard he has arrived safe on the other side of the pacific it is easier still. Sorry for all those suffering from the shut down of the skies over Europe and thankful for the clear air in this hemisphere.
Once again the advice on horns (the bits poking out at the corners). Always leave them on until the last minute. They help when knocking things apart after trial fits and they protect the ends until it is time to cut to size.
