All 20 mortises are done. I forgot about the slots for the z-clips to hold the top on. So, I cut those real quick. All the 1" mortises made the 1/4" slots feel like nothing.
All the pieces are sanded to 220 grit and the legs have been rounded off with a router.
Tomorrow is dry-fit and hopefully glue up.
Then, I just have to do the top.
26 days left.

Table is slowly coming along. All the tenons for the frame are cut. I started on the mortises. 2 down. 18 to go. 😭
It has to be finished by Thanksgiving or I lose my retro computing table.
