And here are the runners from yesterday, glued/clamped to the front leg/apron assembly.
Teeny, Tiny Tenons
These are drawer runners. The tenons are actually slip tenons, preglued into the runners.
Positively Polyurethane
I'm gluing up the first leg to apron connection, and all looks good. You can see the small amount of cleanup I'll have to do at the leg to apron transition - just a little bit of pencil line to remove - after the glue cures. I'm using primarily polyurethane glue on this piece (inspired by the article by Craig Thibodeau in Fine Woodworking magazine). Positive experiences thus far.
Final Fitting
With the slip tenons in place, I can finish up any fine tuning before assembly, including layout of the transition from leg to apron. Something about the composition of this image struck my eye.
Turkey Legs
Slip tenons, glued into the table legs. Sometimes it doesn't matter which part you glue the slip tenons into first. I glued them into the legs first because that way I could glue the tenons to each other where they are mitered inside the leg. Plus I don't have to worry about trying to clean up squeezeout down inside the leg mortise, as I would have if assembled differently.
