Setting Up for Drilling of the Legs

With a shorter tenon for the side stringers causes the issue of not being able to drive wedges into mortises at the ends of each. The solution: small quarter inch wooden pegs that can be driven into holes in the hole of the leg perpendicular to the entrance of the mortise. Another hole will be put 1/32nd of an inch to the further out area in the tenon to pull it tightly and erase any possibilities of instability.

This is the quarter inch drill bit that will be used to drill out the hole in both the leg and the tenon. There is scotch tape about an inch and a half up to prevent drilling through the leg as the point is to keep the 1/4 inch wooden peg in as tight as possible with few exits.
