Looks great! How did you rout out the pill holes to get them rectangular? Build a jig? Any way you did it, it looks good! Zookeeper There is 2 ways to do it. 1. Drill a hole in the center of spot, and then chisel it out , until it is square. 2, The easy way !! Use a benchtop Mortising Machine. The old Delta works good cutting out the slots . Need to get a better Mortising Machine. The old Delta is, well.. OLD!

Yes CB, I have mortising bits, however, they are square with sharp square corners, not rounded. Mabey I need to update, as the bits I have were purchased in 1951. Nun the less, still nice work. Zookeeper I don't studder, just fumble fingers.
