I have finally done half the sawing to complete the ends of a commission (my sister's entertainment center). 

These is one side of an end of the entertainment center :

 This is the same board secured within the leg vise of my workbench.

This was layed out using the Rob Cosman trick with the dividers.  Do a search on google to find many videos on this method. This simplifies the layout and removes some of the questions on the spacing. The exact dimensions becomes a little bit irrelevant. As long as the spacing is pleasing to the eyes, that should be fine.

Not perfect layout or sawing, but it does not make me shiver too much as this is an end of a carcase so not really too visible and the fact that the other end will be of the same color, some minor defect should not show up too much. Will take s a little break from sawing and now, let’s sharpen the chisel and get into those wholes and remove the waste....
