Fence post #3

A little distracted by the start of the Ashes cricket today, but making steady progress.  I've figured out and obtained all the necessary timber, with the longer stock delivered this morning.

To make a smarter job, and practice some woodworking skills, I'm going to mortice the aris rails into the posts rather than using big shiny fixing brackets.  In theory they should look something like this:

The first post, to be secured to the house wall, is completed:

The back face had to be cut at 70 degrees to account for the angle between the fence and the house wall.  

Cutting and planing 6' x 3" of timber with a hand saw and plane was good exercise!  The next post and aris rails should be easier by comparison.
