Thanks for the nice comments. Yes…the lowly coping saw still works in my shop!

As far as a dowel center goes, I’m not sure what picture you are looking at. If it is the one where I’m paring the shoulder you might be seeing a bench dog (out of focus) in my bench in the background. No dowel centers used in this process.

Your are really coming along. The pictures showing the tenon jig, “micro adjuster”, paring, shoulder plane, my favorite is the coping saw shot, (a tool that never shows up enough), are great visuals.

In the shot, where you are sizing the tenon….what are you using the dowel point in that shot for?

Between your Queen Anne table, and Tony’s corner cabinet, one can learn alot of woodworking.
