Yesterday we started on it and built the jigs for cutting the cabriole legs and the four sides on the drill press, I only had time to cut two legs in class, so I finished the rest today. In the next class in March we will cut all the tenons and mortises and put it together. The legs still have a lot of sanding work on them and the square pieces that you see on the top and bottom of the legs will be cut off later when the mortises have been cut, they help to keep everything square while cutting.
Four of the club members (I am one of them) that are so lucky to have the free time will be working on most Wednesdays this year to build this wonderful Secretary, I will try and show you our progress each week.
Have a great week

Wonderful projects Elga.
I am looking forward admiring your work.
Beautiful and I like to follow you. Compliments for what you make and share.
I am sure you have a wonderful piece of petit point planned for that gorgeous stool. I look forward to seeing it.
As for the Secretary...WOW that is an ambitious project. :-) so many drawers, cubby holes and so on. It sure is a pretty piece.
Love the secretary! They are such stately pieces. :D
Comme Marie-Laure, j'admire ce magnifique travail et je vais suivre la réalisation de cette chaise avec attention.
Now that is a great project Elga! Wonderful to have a group with which to learn good furniture making. I'm jealous.
Wow! I want to learn how to do bent legs of the chairs.
