The leg frames on each side have a wide upper stretcher that is half-lapped into the legs, and a lower stretcher that is held in with drawbored mortise and tenon joints.

It&#8217;s pretty hard to fathom why holdfasts ever fell out of fashion. Once I had used them for an hour or two making the leg frames I was hooked. Why wouldn&#8217;t you want to have a clamp everywhere you could drill a hole ?<\/p>\n<p>Having the dog holes in the apron lets me use them as a face vise sort of as well. Here&#8217;s how I set it up to cut the tenon shoulders. The piece is pinched between a bench dog and the wonder dog, and the holdfast keeps it tight to the apron.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.mykos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/vertical-clamping.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-323\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.mykos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/vertical-clamping.png\" alt=\"vertical clamping\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It worked surprisingly well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Glue ups are an outside job.
