@RobCosman.com, it looks like on that cutaway example that the lighter color wedge on the left side has cut through the tenon; is this not an issue?

@joschmoyo4532 2 жыл бұрын

Lol. If you listen carefully you can hear the moment Rob broke one of the tenon kerfs because he cut it to close to the shoulder. Kerfing tenons is risky, especially if it's a brittle timber with a short tenon. Window/door joiners don't usually kerf the tenon itself because there can be a risk of splitting so you just drive a very rough sawn wedge in to edge to fasten it. Not quite as strong but if the glue fails its easier to repair because you can drill out the old wedge and put in a new one. Cabinet makers often drill a hole at the base of the tenon before cutting a kerf down to it so that the load of the driven wedge is spread and reduces the chance of splitting. You don't need to spread the tenon nearly as much as Rob did. 3mm is plenty, 2mm is perfectly good enough. That way your kerf can be further in and thus stronger. Many joiner do not bother to actually angle the mortise either. It's more about compressing the tenon tight while gluing up and being able to crack the frame to get rid of any wind. Wedged tenoning avoids the need for sash clamps. That's why we use them. It's fast.

@dp1381 2 жыл бұрын

This was a great tutorial. One tip for anyone trying this at home: before you cut the kerfs in the tenon to accept the wedges, drill a small hole (about 1/8" for a tenon the size of the one in the video) through the tenon near the shoulder where you want the kerf to end. This does a couple things for you. The round hole eliminates a stress point and reduces the likelihood of splitting. It also gives you a bigger target to saw towards. Happy woodworking, everyone!

I've learned so much over the last few days. I finally had to come to terms with how terrible my sharpening system was and ordered the Trend 300/1k and a Shapton 8k. Ya this is a perfect video for me because I'm building my first woodworking bench and am gonna attach the legs in the Roubo style with the tennon and dovetail that's flush with the bench edge. I know I'm supposed to wedge that tenon but wasn't sure how. You sir are the MAN. Thanks for everything.

Its twice the price but I'm guessing these stones last a long time. I'm really enjoying the hand tool path I'm taking but like everything else that's rewarding, it can be frustrating as heck sometimes. My ultimate goal in this endeavor is to build stringed instruments. I think there's a lot of parallels between learning guitar and learning how to use fine woodworking tools. Practice and practice and frustration and then one day you realize you're getting better at this. BTW, you just made the best tshirt. "Sharpening is Everything" I'd buy one

At 57:33 he snaps one side of the tenon wedge off. That significantly decreases the strength. I reckon he cuts them far too narrow at the bottom, and having the wedge run all the way down puts a massive amount of pressure at that point which literally snaps off the fibers where they are most vulnerable. I've always cut the wedges short and rounded them off, so that the flexible part of the tenon can "curve into" the final position along the sides.

@kevinkolpatzeck5998 2 жыл бұрын

I have seen that, too.. But it frankly does not affect the strength of the joint whatsoever. The snapped off piece is glued to the wedge, making it a solid part of the internal dovetail.

A great look to the through tenon. Could you use a dovetail marking jig to set the angles for the mortise? I should think 6 or 7 degrees would be sufficient. Would it work to saw the tenon shoulders first? The saw kerfs in the tenon for the wedges look too close to the edges of the tenon to me. In fact it appears one of the flares on the tenon broke when you prepared for the wedge. Didn't that weaken the joint? Thank you for sharing. Have a great 2021 and stay healthy.

Rob I am fairly new to woodworking. Only been around 2 years. But not new to craftsmanship and I very much appreciate yours. I am a metal worker by trade. In metal working when ever we have a Crack or a cut slot we drill a stop hole and I have seen it done on through wedged tenon. Where they will keep the bottom of the slot up from the sholder than drill a hole. Is this not needed in wood? Or do you not need it when the side parts that are being pushed out are small enough? If I am all off base what is the determining factor?

Can you explain if wood movement needs to be taken into consideration here, cos there is no space for the wedge to expand and contract? Sorry if this was asked by someone else here.

Great video! If you were to cut a lot of these joints would it be a good idea to cut a dado into a scrap wood which is the exact angle and width of the chisel so you wouldn't have to mess around with holding the chisel at the right angle or tight to a wall all you would have to do is hammer down.

Great idea

Is the angle of about 13 degrees a "go-to" amount no matter of length of mortise. Or is it more dependant on the preferred size of the wedge and aesthetics. Or is it a matter of "about 1/4" plus width of tenon".

Hi, Rob. Isn't some of the integrity of this joint inherent in the material left at the bottom of the 'wings made by the kerf cut for the wedge? With the little material you left, and on your cut-away example there was not much at all on one side, there seams to be an opposite effect from the intended "dovetail."
