I do enjoy using this low angle smoother with the mouth open and the iron well down roughing out is a delight. By narrowing the mouth and pulling the iron back a silky smooth finish soon appears. Oh and those curlies just keep on coming.

 

I am not convinced about this method of cutting the tenons. Care is needed as the blade is exposed. The secondary fence should be way in front of the blade to prevent pinching between the blade and the fixed fence. It is also important not to turn the secondary fence over half way though. as the resulting tenons will be a different sizes! 

The waste just snapped off with just light finger pressure

Cleaning the rough spots on the tenon with a chisel.

The shoulders were all very clean straight from the saw although I think I went too far with the shoulder depth

 

Cutting a mortise.

After only a little cleaning of the mortise hole the result, quite a tight fit and at a right angle too.

The front and back frames completed. Just the sides frames to go.

 

Dry fit - all looks square
