Staked Furniture Mortise Reaming: A Better Approach
#14
Status Update:  saw bench is now assembled and ready for final finishing.  If you are thinking about getting into staked furniture, this would
be an ideal first project.  Now I have to build the second matching bench which should go much faster.  Note that I don't have a full sized lathe, so
I purchased 1-3/4 poplar dowel blanks from Menards: worked out great.

It looks a good way to make the metal reamers handle like the wooden ones with a blade, without clogging as they do: http://www.greenwoodworking.com/SawSteel...eamerPlans

Interesting: I did not realize the wooden reamers had a clogging issue.
