Sawing a tenon




Em had designed a Harry Potter bookshelf for her woodwork class at school. But then it had to be made. Tenon and mortise, dark and light wood, she hadn't made it easy for herself.
Yes, you can bring it to the shop but I'm not going to do it for you, I said.
So she sawed her own tenons, drilled and chiselled the mortises, we glued the tricky bits together then she took it back to school to finish.
I'll post the finished work when she brings it home.
