For a few hours of work yesterday (Sunday May 11th) I had to cut the tenons on the ends of the top supports to easily flush with the top of the legs and side panels to allow the top to fit without any movement or issues. Along with creating flush tenons, the tenons also had to be sanded to fit perfectly into the mortises. This was a grueling exercise, for it took hours to make the tenons fit correctly, or at least it seemed.
I'm really happy with the end results. At this point every piece is cut and sanded together, and I'll assemble everything to make sure the desk holds up. There's a ton of more work to do, but pretty soon I'll get to the finishing portion of the project (painting and more sanding. Yay!). This is the only part of the project that is bothersome so far, as sanding is extremely tiring.
