I made this clock as a freshman in high school. It was my first "big" wood project. It is made of 3/4" cherry, with hand-carved feet and hand-carved mortises where the sides meet the top and bottom.

The door rails for a clock I'm making from walnut. I wanted an arch, but I don't have a bandsaw. Lots of relief cuts with my scroll saw is step one.

With the relief cuts finished, cutting with the scroll saw to the line is straightforward. Without the relief cuts, the blade flexes too much to cut on the line.

A picture of a jig I made to route the mortises that attach the sides to the top and bottom. I used a 3/8" straight bit and a template bushing. The template is 3/4" plywood, and the bushing is 1/8" OD larger than the bit.

A closeup of the mortise and the jig. The jig is 1/16" wider on each of its three sides to accommodate for the template bushing.

A picture of the clamping arrangement. The jig is attached using carpet tape, and the clamps hold it to the RAS top (which all too often serves as an assembly bench).

The router makes rounded corners for the mortises. I could either chisel the rounded corners square, or I could round the edges of the sides. I chose to round the edges of the sides. I cut a relief at each corner with a handsaw and shaped the edges wit

Another mockup, after fitting each mortise (or is that a stop-dado...) This also has the Roman Ogee edge treatment on the top, bottom, and "cap" pieces.
