I used the carcasse saw and a stop block in the miter block to cut the shoulders of the lap joints and free-handed the cheek. I used a router plane to clean up the cheeks when necessary, using another piece for support.
And the joints on all pieces were ready in short order.
Somehow I had messed up my calculations for the short sides and the dowel holes would have interfered with the lap joints. I made new marks 8 inches on center and that was that.
14 holes left to drill before the next post :)
There are some interesting challenges with this build using handtools. I like it!
