pssst "kerf bending", not 'nerf'.
The gap in the piece after you make a cut is the "kerf". The wood that was (formerly) there is what got turned into sawdust or shavings.
Looks pretty nice, and with all the pocket screws I don't think the seat slats are going anywhere.
Still think you should have gone with the exposed wedged mortise and tenon joints. Contrasting woods and all. With "pillowed" tenon ends.
Nerf....kerf......
and to top it off,I proof read it! I do know its a "kerf"lol but thanks for all the kind words....it turned out to be much harder then I expected but I did learn alot.I had to match this to the rest of the set[2 small chairs and a coffee table] so I needed to keep the faces "clean" so thats why I went with the kreg jig.I gonna stop and look at the rest of the kreg jig line of tools....nice stuff and very "user friendly".
Thanks again,
