Mortis is from 'mort' meaning to death, meaning grave, meaning a hole in the ground. So a mortise is a square hole that looks like a grave. :-)

@@youtuberkhan9532if you look around there's so many different origins and meanings for most words, one website says; "Late 14c., morteise, "hole in which something is fitted" (originally of the hole in which Christ's cross was inserted)" Dan Brown would have all kinds of conspiracy theories on this, A mortise is generally seen as the 'Female', a female housing for the cross that symbolises Christ, the upright of a cross is the 'shaft' A hole for the saviour's shaft. Possibly the church wouldn't allow half lap joints as they mean male and female are equal and interchangeable.....can Indiana Jon..........sorry, Robert Langdon (two entirely different characters, one has a whip, the other doesn't.) decipher the the messages of the joints used to make the Pope's foot stool? Is the dowel joint making Ikea more powerful than the church? It writes itself, hahaha. (Sorry, got a little carried away there, But I'll be watching you Dan Brown!) To me the most confusing thing about which is the mortise and which is the tenon is ironmongary, Mortise locks are wrongly named, The hole is the mortise, the bit you put in is the tenon, so they surely should be called 'tenon locks'?

Like your work mate. Great to see the younger generation carrying on this fine tradition. I also like to use traditional tools rather than routers etc, but I tend to drill out the mortices first. My Dad was a joiner and he said it was a waste of energy to chisel out all that wood. He was right. When I used to demonstrate traditional woodworking techniques I would use a brace and bit. Very satisfying. But in the workshop I use a morticer or the pillar drill and a point and spur drill bit. If I can't find one in the right size, I grind one. Also, I've found Japanese saws to be superior to even the very best old tenon saws, and all my good saws are beautiful 100 year old Distons! The advantages are many. Firstly you're pulling towards you, not pushing away. That leads to greater control and therefore higher accuracy. Japanese saws have very aggressive sharp teeth which cut much faster with far less effort. You're also cutting a finer kerf because the teeth are set much closer than European saws, so both sides of the cut are subject to less scoring as a result of variations in accuracy of saw stroke. All this means you can cut a lot closer to the line. Japanese woodworkers cut TO the line! They are amazing. Finally, when cleaning out the long sides of the mortice, I like to offer the 1" chisel at an angle, cutting with the corner first, sliding it in like a guillotine. This method works best on hard timbers.

Nice video! Personally I would have chopped out that mortise with a bevel edge chisel. Slower progress, and much more subtle and precise work, but also requiring a lot less adjusting of the tenon to make a tidy fit afterwards. The mortise chisel is great for tearing out chunks of wood, which is fine for bigger and less delicate joints, but is does leave a lot of scars on a little and delicate joints as in this video. That said, thumbs up for anyone who can still be bothered to carry forward the magic of the good old hand tools, and you have made a very good and instructional video here.

I'm probably going to go ahead and start making metal working equivalents of these tools, and maybe buy a few lengths of pine from the local Bunnings.

Hey Matt, great videos! I have been attempting to cut mortise and tenons for a while now. I’ve never cut these joints and your videos are very helpful. But every time I cut them the tenon is angled (not square) when assembled. Is there a way to remedy this? Or is the only solution re cutting the joint? I am trying to find a “troubleshooting mortise and tenon joint” video to go into more detail on fine tuning a tight fitting mortise and tenon joint. Also I would love to see your take on doing a mortise and tenon video for 45 degree angled braces, maybe a video on how you fine tune your mortise and tenon joints and how to make them square.

TIP: If you cut the tenon first, you can cut the mortise a little narrow, then clamp your tenon next to the mortise board. Then use the edge of the tenon board to register your mortise chisel. Then pair the mortise sides using the side of the tenon board. No damage. No bruising. Perfect fit.

From a very jealous middle aged carpenter to a young guy setting himself up on a great path to a successful career I applaud your skill and knowledge. I taught carpentry and I really wasn't interested in perfect practise pieces I was interested in people getting the experience over and over, I see a lot of tutorials about how to do things and it's filmed well and all very valid but the real reason to do joints is to make things, so that said my thoughts are this.... Use that lovely accurate saw and cut so close to your gauge lines that you are left with a slither of wood left to chisel. If you don't trust you can hit that mark, don't worry it's all practise because if you have to chisel with a mallet your tenons there's too much stock left on, which for a demo is fine but it then adds an extra process and time to making even the most basic of frames in for example if you take 1 minute longer chiselling this way on each side that's both sides x4 joints in a basic frame that's 8 minutes longer, if your making a dovetail box and chiselling each face of the dovetails and pins it gets to hours spent chiselling what the saw does very well at. Good luck and keep sharing great content

It appears that the obvious solution would be to just mark the tenon slightly oversize and pare down the sides of the mortise to fit. I can't help but think that it would give you smoother sidewalls that make it easier to get a tighter fit joint to slide home. I've not actually tried it, though, and it's well after midnight here so I could be missing the obvious problem with that idea.

You listened and remembered - nice :-) Regarding the mortice cutting, have a look at Paul Seller's method: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qJNga7OKmNnYl6M.html He cuts the tenon first (I don't particularly care using his or your method of cutting it), but then he cuts the mortice WITHOUT a mortice chisel ever - by using bevel chisels only. Plus, by making the mortice a few mm bigger than the chisel, he doesn't have the problem of the mortice getting bigger than anticipated. What do you think about that? I've never put either method into practice, so I'd like your opinion - and perhaps a "cutting method duel" video perhaps? :-)

All for you my friend! Haven't seen that video of Pauls before but I remember seeing his original M&T a few years ago. Over the years my method obviously mixed with different techniques I've been taught. As for the bevel edged chisel vs mortice chisel debate. I can only assume he's demonstrating how to cut the joint with the bare minimum tools as that is the premise of a lot of his videos. Bevel edged chisels are undoubtedly more versatile than a mortice chisel. But are they better at whacking out waste than a mortice chisel? Probably not.

Will you possibly introduce some way of sacrifial Material? Or do you stand by "each chop is calculated" is it worth changing any Setup?

This is strange, you put the bevel of your chisel on the wrong side when you chop. Try the other way, you will be much more efficient. The thing is that when the chisel plunges, it follows the bevel. look at the good old Paul Sellers, he explains it very good (as ever). By the way you don't need a mortice chisel to do a mortice. Great videos, keep going !

This is much easier with a router table or drill press to cut the mortise and a table saw for the tenon

Not very precise nor accurate. Need some improvement ! Keep on practising, it’s more useful than doing approximate videos ! Best

Don't want to damage your WORKbench? Don't make it fancy looking with inlays. Just like a pushstick for a tablesaw is there to be used and cut into, so you don't cut into your fingers,the workbench is there to hold your work, so you don't ram the chisel into your leg when going through a workpiece. Most people who make fancy pushsticks, and paint them, don't want to use them for tricky cuts, so they are worthless. People who treat their workbench like furniture, waste so much time trying to figure out alterative approaches to a straight forward idea. This channel might be very popular, but I just lost a lot of respect for this guy worrying about not damaging his pretty workbench with a chisel.
