I've made a simple mortising jig to help me locate the mortises in the sideboard legs.The jig is made from a piece of oriented strand board (OSB) and a couple of stop blocks screwed to the OSB that position the part to be mortised (above).A handscrew secures the leg against the stop block.

But if the sideboard itself is what you're after, I've offered the article in two sections. The main article shows you how to make the case, while the side-story explains the inlay work. Start building the case by first marking the legs for the mortise-and-tenon joints in the face frame. These are the only mortise-and-tenon joints in the piece. The back and sides are held in place on the legs using biscuits. To mark the mortise and tenon locations, measure down 2" from the top of each leg and mark for the top rail. Then measure another 7" down to define the drawer space and the location of the top of the lower rail. Go ahead and KENTUCKY SIDEBOARD
