Here chopping the corners flat, square, and consistent. I put a couple locator dowels in the bottom piece and put the op over that so the horizontal pieces would align the way they will with the sides in place. Then clamped a corner chopping block I made to the top where I could get a thin but clean chop.
Hinge mortise. I'm always amazed at how many chisels I use for such tasks. But this work isn't really about making do.
Set up for edge treatments. A seemly small step but they take a while to do. I hear that in some traditional Japanese woodwork the edge treatment is one of the most important features and only highly train craftsmen perform the treatments.

They call that highly trained person "the router".
Haheaehheaha Shut up! Those edges aren't route-able.
Like they call the skilled workmen of the danish chairs "cnc" err something of that sort.
Man, imagine being the guy who's sole position is 'edge treatment guy'? I'd commit Hari-Kari.
i guess its kinda like being the "edge guy" in a kitchen shop..
