This is where I was 2 days ago. I had just finished making the parts for the frame and panel top and had to see how it all worked together. Just the box is glued-up at this point.
The rungs fit into stepped mortises. They enter the leg cleanly and bear against a small internal shoulder. Very tidy.
This is a test to figure out the hole size for the threaded brass inserts that go into the bottom of the box. The poplar box will be held to the frame by bolts that fasten to these inserts. This system allows the box to be easily reversed so that the seat can be to the left or the right of the box. This choice might become pertinent once the piece is where it will live. It is definitely worth buying the dedicated driver that fits these inserts.
It still amazes me when holes in one piece line up with their receiving hardware. With the box successfully attached, I can move on to connecting the legs to the frame. It is getting closer to being a piece of furniture. Once it can function, it's there.
