What the...?
Mortises for the slats for rocking chair back seemed a little wide. So I measured the width of my inexpensive 3/8 chisel...and it's just shy of 7/16 !
I know about "measure twice, cut once" but I didn't know about "measure the chisel before you buy it"

My treadle lathe "works" but not well enough to really turn anything decently. While I'm waiting for the epoxy to cure on the mods/repairs, I'm rough planing the cherry lumber for an upcoming rocking chair.

Dry fitting all the legs. Angles are pretty close to what I figured for.

I think we skipped spring and went almost 90⁰. Took the new paddle out for a Genesee River spin.

Flywheel mounted on the treadle lathe frame. Not perfectly true but nothing to get steamed about. A couple of washers to shim it out away from the frame.

The seat bowl is almost there. I didn't realize the travisher could get so hot. Maybe I'm just going out at like a madman.

Drilled a hole to the depth I want for the "niche derrière". Now rough carve it down with the scorp.

Manual jigsaw?

I use both pull and push saws but I don't have a push saw that can curve.

Fifth coat of Tru-oil, full strength. I diluted the first 4 coats for quicker curing.
