Does it all fit together?

While waiting for the router to be freed up, I thought I'd see if the
seat slats fit on the supporting pieces.

Very pleased to see everything fits together for the most part,
despite any roundings of figures between the imperial an metric
conversions.

A few of the seat slats suffered from my careless/inexperienced
handlin of the router (to curve the sharp corners).

One I can live with. It might even become one of those little things
to remind myself, and more important, others, of my first foray into
woodworking.

But another was so badly gouged I decided to redo with the spare back
slat that I was no longer using. Carrying all that extra wood came in
handy after all!!

This evening I completed all the cutting and shaping required to
complete the chair. I managed to get my hands on the router and worked
on half of the back slats. Unfortunately there are still too many to
do.

Seriously thinking of buying a router on the weekend so I can get all
the pieces routed and start to assemble! That way I can hopefully
start on my second chair next week.

Let's see what happens...
