Got the new band saw blade and cut out the large thick corner piece. Tomorrow I will do some hand-held belt sander work on it to shape it then cut the mortise. I am leaving the mortise end a little long for now until I fit the various pieces together. I began to cut out the strips of 1/8" plywood that I will use to reinforce each side of each of 4 bows. The cutting was going easily compared to the thick corner piece but even though I was being very careful not to stress the blade, it broke again. That's 2 today...they are just such small blades....I'm not really surprised. I've got one more and I hope I can finish the plywood strips....6 to go, each 4 ft long. But, overall it was a good day...not a lot done but progress!
