“Once you’ve made forty or fifty of these, it becomes easier.” CB’s dry deliveries crack me up.
With the greatest respect and as previously mentioned, only turn the leg portion first, keep the rest square so you can hold it in the vice securely whilst cutting the mortises.
Then finish turning the top section.
