Dec 16. Front Seat Frame

The front seat frame was easier -- fewer fore and act members. But I forgot that it was actually tougher due to the rabbet in the inner edge of the seat frame. 1/ 2" X 1/8". I chose to do this on the table saw in pieces prior to assembly. I've never been a fan of the router. It was a bit of a tough cut because is was not the entire length of the side pieces, which means running only the middle through the saw and chiseling out the rest to a rounded corner after the fact. The picture barely shows it, but later pics show it better. 

Here is the assembled front seat frame resting in place just after assembly. That ensures a level fit later -- let it cure where it will be mounted later. I put a few screws in the bottom to help assembly and prevent the shear loads from breaking the assembly later, but there are few enough that some clamps were needed to get tight glue joints all around. 

Another pic at an almost uselessly different angle.
