Now the sliding dovetails in the rails. These will hold the
cross-brace that we will cut in a moment.
Remove the fences. Add a miter gage to the table.

We could mark where
the cuts are to be made and do it by eye but it is easier and more accurate to clamp a
stop block so that the cut will be made at 4” from both ends.

Make 2 cuts on each piece. Each one is
4” from the end. They are through dovetails since the ends will not be seen. I use a
backer board to minimize the chance of splintering at the back of the cut.
