Rain yesterday, rain tonight, but for a few hours, no rain. So, time to cut the last mortices (got the tenons for the long stretchers cut during the week).
This time, chopped the first five mm or so using a chisel the paul sellers way, and did that on both sides, then used the auger to remove the waste and cleaned up by chisel.
It's not going to win awards, but it's at least cleaner than when I started this and it'll do for now.
…and so does the front stretcher. Grand.
