Now I'm fitting the cross members. I check for levelness using a piece of wood across from the next cross member - just to make sure its not rotated as the screw went in.

I had a couple of cross members twist without me spotting on the last boards, this meant I then had to plane them down to get the base board top to sit flat. I've decided its much less work to check while the glues wet...

The pub's beckoning, so its time to wrap up. The boards are now in the modelling room.

Next I've refitted the recovered legs, luckily they fit with no adjustments required.

No, I don't know where that went?

 

The chair we rescued from the Phez wine bar on its final night of disreputable trading is in my garage.. It still bears some wayward saw cuts. We didn't always have saw horses.
