Description
The No.1 is the piece the whole workshop is arranged around. The seat frame is four rails tenoned into four legs, and every one of those eight joints is drawbored: the hole through the tenon is bored 2 mm closer to the shoulder than the hole through the leg, so driving the peg is what pulls the frame square.
You will notice the gap when you dry-fit it. The tenon stops about 4.5 mm short and the shoulder stands open. That is not a fault and it is not a tolerance problem — it is the draw, and it disappears the moment the peg goes home.
The back is two slats between a crest rail and a lower rail, both pegged the same way. The seat is a solid panel that drops into a rebate; it floats, so it can move with the season without splitting the frame.
Finished with two coats of hardwax oil, wiped back by hand. It arrives flat in one box with a mallet, four spare pegs and a single printed sheet.
