Didn't do too much over the weekend, just enough to keep the job ticking over. Then today thicknessed the rails from 50mm to 40mm, finished triming up the mortises and then on to the tenons. This is one heavy f*^%$ of a table so the legs are 90mm sq, the rails 85mm x 40mm and the M&Ts are 70 high, 30wide and 60mm long/deep. I drilled out the mortise with a 30mm speed bore and then cleaned them up. For big tenons I use the LN 14" crosscut for the shoulders and then the 16" Bad Axe rip for the cheeks etc. The BA has good length and nice and deep for those big tenons.
It has a very agressive tooth and cuts very fast.
Oh I forgot to mention, when I was doing the carved legs on the other table I got to give the rasps another good run but as before even though the Liogier (8) was a finer grain I found it took more wood off quicker and smoother than the courser Auriou (6).
Ok some pics

Hi CH,
Love ya work, I do enjoy sitting here and watching you work CH, from my chair, but can't read too much, my drinking arm gets tired.
One question about the door. Is the iron furniture on the door for show or are they the hinges? Are they an 'off the shelf' product? And in the second photo, showing the brace, is the door the right way up? Which side was it hung from, looking at the second photo?
OK, OK, that was more than one question. But I was wondering about the orientation of the brace, particularly for such a heavy door.
Cheers
Pops (awaiting my next drinking opportunity er, I mean your next post full of wood, words and pictures)

Mexicans? But that's what we Queenslanders call you lot from south of the Tweed. Can't ever remember a term for the lot down here - maybe given it's so cold we just never bothered with anything.
Great to see you back at it. it gives me an excuse for not doing much.
That bottom slab in the first shot up there is pure fiddle back - drool.

Make no mistake Waldo, you are the Mexicans! Pops, steel embelishments are only for show, although the screws holding them are doing some work, The bolts were hammered in with glue on so they are acting like steel dowels (the ones in the bracing) and are structural. The hinge plate thingys were off the shelf but then I gave them some special treatment. The brace is a hang brace and goes from the top hinge position down to the lower latch side. I know there is two trains of thought on this but I have never had a problem with this style so I stick with it.
Wheelin, the mortiser had to have an upgrade when I bent the spade bit so it is now sporting a fostner bit. Ok must get back to it, deadlines to meet.

Looking forward to seeing the finish on this piece, the side shows some very nice figure. Does this timber work similar to redgum by any chance? Beautiful tenons there too!

Here you go, todays efforts. My poor old Makita belt sander finaly gave up the gost after about 25years. It was the switch that died today and I could have got it going again but I think the motor is about to go too so it will just go into a box for spares. Picked up a new one from Bunnies. I was lucky I saw one the other day for $332 so when I went to Bunnies and saw $354 I told them about the other one, they confirmed the price and then bettered it by 10% thank you very much so picked up the new one for $298. I'm happy with that. Then it was back to sanding the top. Used my tie down straps rather than trying to get clamps accross the natural edges.
