Yes- i have 1 good bit for the router currently

Is there a "standard" size for these things?

I did the tapers on the bandsaw once I had cut down the legs to 2x36 rectangles on the saw (for the tall one). The mortise and tenon/slot work - I first thought to do on the router table, but opted to nibble them away on the saw once I gave that a try and saw it worked nicely. I have a couple pieces...

I started this about a week ago as I wanted to attempt a mortise+tenon joint. I hadn't worked on that before.

That looks great !

Yea- i don't have a belt sander, but i did wonder which direction the belt travelled past the blade there in that picture.
If the sander runs clockwise, this would be the direction you want.
