Leo says: use a sharp marking knife to scribe lines eg on the legs to mark off the pommel length (the top square part of the legs) : bring the scribed line around all four sides. Then place masking tape along the edge of the line. This can help prevent split out when cutting the tapers. Use a sharp skew to cut the pommel edges and bring the blade of the skew in perpendicular to the cut if you want a square cut finish. Leo went through the marking method to mark off where the mortices will be cut.
See photos.
For next session have all four legs ready for marking and drilling mortices. Leo showed how to properly sharpen a carpenters pencil.
