The next step was to start shaping the boards. This is the top of one of the verticals. The cuts into the grain were made with a dovetail saw. The cuts across the grain were made with a crosscut saw. The crossgrain cut in the middle was done by repeatedly scoring and chipping it out with a chisel. We used a router to thin down the tongues, and a chisel to clean it up.

The holes are obviously drilled, and the bottoms squared by chisel.
