Nope, used a gas cartridge that was good for 2 activations.

Slick technique with the center punch! Thanks for sharing that one.

Mick, your neighbor must do some incredible stone work for you to part with 40 yo cherry!  Can you provide a pic of Alison’s table and a link to the FWW Beckvoort’s to give us an idea of what’s to come? Looking forward to following this project. 

Next I did the draw bore pins a la Mike Pekovich.  It's really handy to have multiple squares - one for the edge standoff, one for the top hole and one for the bottom. You may wonder why I have two Starrett 4" combo squares. I "lost" one last fall and after weeks of looking for it and finally buying a new one, found it in my apron - in the wrong pocket.  I learned this little trick from a FW podcast a couple of years ago. I got a set of center punches from HF for ?? $12. The pin holes are ¼". With the boards clamped together, insert the 1/32" smaller size punch into the hole with it pressed up against the edge of the hole closest to the apron and punch it. This locates an index point just inside and toward the apron. Once drilled, it draws the tenon into the mortise. The long side aprons are close to 6 feet, so I just let gravity do the work for them. After drilling them out I used a countersink by hand to ease the edge so the pin could seat without crushing the fibers.

Must depend on the saw.   I found much less dust with zero clearance, as show in the this brief comparison video
