Lambs tongues are just one of those things you need to do by hand. It
takes a while to do cut 32 of them but it's very satisfying to see the
result.
Next step the rails.

Nice tongues! Excellent work. I also find those parts of a job
extremely satisfying.

Have you ever tried to explain to someone who thinks they're the same as
a stopped router cut why they have to be hand cut?

It's an adventure. G

Thanks.
I haven't had to explain that but I have been asked how are you sure
they are all exactly the same. I then separate two of them by 4 feet and
ask, "can you see any difference?.
That works with turnings as well.

I know that conversation.

I think the answer originally struck me as I was drinking beer and
staring at an antique side-by-side in my living room. It's a beautiful
piece, but the more time I studied it, the more differing details I
found among "identical" parts. Then, I found an old staircase...


Of course, the average person (my wife) doesn't get as excited about
noticing these things as we might. G
