Some steps leading to a trestle table posted earlier.
Hadn’t built the woodshop yet, still in the garage.
Tasks that stumped me initially were the long mortices for the wedges (top right), joining the two big planks for the top (OMG, for a good smoothing plane), and cutting away everything but the dovetail keys to attach the top (bottom left). Oh, and I still have no idea how eight dovetail slots were cut into the top without at least one catastrophe.
I think some butterfly inlays are visible in the top.
Very rigid, yet it all comes apart in a minute.
