Finished cleaning up tenons. I originally cut them to 2 inches. I don't have a router bit that is long enough to safely cut a 2 1/8"- 2 1/4" mortise. I ended up cutting tenons to 1 1/4*.

Cutting mortises in trestle pieces. They aren't the prettiest, but they will work for what I need. I made cheap mortising jig to cut them.
I'll glue the three pieces together for four assemblies. Also I have to cut tenon's on the upright pieces and get everything squared up.

I followed assembly instructions. I think the failure was attaching the braces to center post first. I will recut and rebuild. At least I rurnt free lber and not hardwood. They look decent, alone, but definitely not square not identical.

I got the two trestle pieces glues and screwed. Tomorrow I'll fine tune and finish assembly the second picture is what final assembly will look like.
Running boards threw the planer, first to flatten one side, then I will run them through to achieve the thickness I want. Shooting for
1"- 1 1/4". These are for the dining room table I am building. The melamine board is a sled, the table boards are shimmed essentially using planer as a jointer.
