Back to the Bents





The Bents are the vertical post and the horizontal tie beam. When completed they kinda look like football goalpost. This is my second set of handles, Looks like time for a new one.
My Drawings, Again.





                                                                     
    It is so much easier to cut the Cypress than the Southern Yellow Pine, and so much straighter and stable. I know I keep going on about it but my joints usually fit or are pretty close the first time around. Expecially when two pieces come together as in the Wedged Half  Dovetail Mortise and Tenon used to connect the Tie Beam to the Post. Don't get me wrong, I love Southern Yellow Pine, it smells great and strong but I'll leave the SYP for those who are more talented than me.
