Side Leg & Front Apron

After milling the side leg stock to size I cut the 17 degree angle on the tenon end.
Then the tenon was cut with the Leigh Jig.
I also cut the back brace mortice with the Leigh jig. It is not really designed to hold the work piece in this orientation but a couple of expanding clamp accomplished it.  I was concerned that it may not be adequate clamping but it did work.
The curves and cloud lift were done in the same way as Mark describes in the video.

The tenons in the front apron were made with the Leigh jig. I used the Festool MSF to make the slots.
I was not sure about getting on the ramps correct just chiseling as Mark did, so I made a guide ramp that could be clamped to the apron. I set it close to the router cut hole to start and then moved it back slightly as I worked.
