Assembling the Base

After a once-over on the legs and stretchers with a card scraper, the base is put together.  This is the first time I've used draw-bore joinery, and it is great!  Once everything is set up, it goes together beautifully--no clamps, no worries. The only difficulty I had was connecting the two end assemblies together with the long stretchers. More (long and heavy) parts than I had hands.  But even that went smoothly, thanks to Shannon's help.
