Hand Cut Bridle Joint or Open Mortise & Tenon
Watch as I demonstrate how to prepare a bridle joint, then try it yourself.
When forming a mortise and tenon joint at a corner, the usual method is to employ a haunch or secret haunch, so that the mortise does not extend right to the end of the component, but the tenon supports the full width of it's section to prevent cupping. However, it is also possible to create an open mortise with a full width tenon, known as a bridle joint, which replaces a lot of the effort of mortise chopping with two straight saw cuts.
The bridal joint is also ideal for quickly forming a tee intersection, where the open mortise straddles an 'enclosed' tenon - but that's another video...

Good demonstration. I like this joint for aprons to legs as well when I want a little bit extending beyond the leg in order to make something decorative.

Yeah it's especially killer when it's a floating top.

Wow great vid may I ask what size and what timber you were using in this video thanks

Cheers Grant. Luckily I keep all my joint samples, as I wouldn't remember! This was slow growth pine (Scots pine, Baltic pine, etc. from Northern Europe), approximately 1½"x¾"

thank's for sharing. For a kitchen cabinet door frame would you recommend using the bridle joint or the half lap joint? Or what would your thought process be when deciding on the best joint for the job (considering both stability and how quickly it is made). Thank you :)

laikmiandu Bridle joint, with the panel groove aligned with the tenons, would be my choice. Twice the glue surface area. Those doors can take a pounding, so I would go with strength over speed on this one.

Any tips on using the coping saw to clean out the waste? Can never seem to get it to work as smooth as in the video.

Hi, Sharp blade, good tension, cut on pull stroke, then adjust cut pressure until it cuts easiest. I use standard blades, but I hear Chris Schwartz raves about a certain brand - if you still struggle you might like to check out which they are. Cheers, Mitch

using the router plane compromises the bonding surface of the tenon from being rough finish to smooth. what am I
