John,
Nice variety! I too like loose tenons - they are so quick and easy as well as saving wood. The Rat is perfect for them as it it so easy to cut the mortises in the end grain compared with almost any other method.

I look forward to seeing how it turns out.

John, what an excellent idea to use different joints. I like.

Cheers, Alf

Nice report, it's great to see the construction stages in detail

Thanks for all the comments.

Chris, I agree about using the woodrat for the mortices for loose tenons. I don't know how else this could be done, but no doubt Tony has a jig for it :lol:

Tx, sorry about the gloat, couldn't resist it

Got the base assembled and given it its first coat of Danish oil.
