I would not have changed much, Thane. If you notice in pic #5 Dave is only demoing the chisel, he really use an axe as seen in #6, notice the ugly knot. I might have use the bandsaw, or even ripped it with the orange/white saw. I also would have utilized the lipped adze after the axe. Looks pretty much by the book for hand tool. I can chop faster than handsawing and wood is being removed at the same time.
I might have shifted the whole joint into some clearer wood, but maybe that was not an option.
Looks nice, Dave.
