The only people who get “more conservative” as they get older are the ones that let indifference chisel away their humanity bit by bit

Final joint on the north frame if the workshop. I cut the mortice horizontally, which was a lot more awkward, but not as awkward as dismantling the whole frame and putting it together again.
Still ill, but I've managed this.

Cutting the mortice: horizontal view looking into the hole in the beam. The chisel is in the hole; the mallet and my planes lie on the beam. Behind is the rose hedge.
Cutting the mortice, looking down on it. The chisel is again in the hole, my American square and carpenters rule lie on the beam, and my mallet lies on the brace which, in turn, lies on the beam. The strop which will form the Spanish windlass lies on the grass.
Assembling the frame, using a Spanish windlass and my mallet to drive the tenons home.
The just-completed north frame lies on the trestles on the grass. The south frame leans up against the end of the sawmill shed behind.

Another mortice and its tenon done. Rain, cold, abd strong wind have stopped play for now, and progress on the new workshop is slow. But it is progress.

Cutting the mortice. My chisel takes curling shavings of wood out of the slot, while my mallet rests on the beam beside it.
The finished mortice, with beside it the chisel that cut it, and the tenon that will fit into it.
