Best I can tell by everything I’ve seen on the KZfaq is be it dovetails, mortise and tenons or any other joint- if they are created by machine they are loose fitting and practically useless. It’s amazing to me how many people think that glue can compensate for a loose joint. The only successful machine made joints I’ve seen done were only accomplished because the craftsman made the tennons intentionally a hair over sized and the mortises a hair small and use hand tools to sneak up on the fine tuned fit by hand. Same with other joinery types. I’m so happy that thanks to men like Rob and many many others have really revived the traditional hand tool woodworking.

We mitred the tenons when I was at school from 1969 to 1972. Sitting by a coffee table chess table I made in 1970 with that method. Won the school woodwork prize and selected Lord of the Rings (three hardback books) from the options offered. Still got them too

So exactly the sentiment as to why I am learning to be a woodworking craftsman; It brings me peace and joy to build beautiful things and to take my time with the details. Extremely satisfying! More so than Slime Falls ;) I mirror other commenters that this instructional video will be my go-to. And now it has a designated playlist. Thank you for this masterpiece of craftsmanship.

The use of ruling parallel pencil lines as a guide perpendicular to the single scribed mortise slot line was a simple and great tip to ensure accuracy when chopping out the mortise. Equally, the different strategies for sawing the tenon cheeks accurately we’re great too. Thank you Rob and TEAM COSMAN - a LONDON based permanent Cosman video viewer!

I have been cutting mortise & tenons since the 70s so I didn’t need to watch this video because I know how to do it - right? Mmmm well can all learn. I learned from the Reader’s Digest DIY book (the 1970’s version, not the rubbish later version). They gave an alternate method, perhaps a standard older method, but I really prefer yours. Their mortise way started in the centre and worked outwards for a bit to create a short full depth hole, and they used the chisel the other way round (rotated 180deg). All the cuts way thus vertical in both axes but levering waste out was much less effective because the lever fulcrum was much longer (at the top surface of the wood). The rest of the mortise was then chiselled out to full depth. I like your tip to clear out waste using a smaller chisel, I always messed up my sides by using the full width chisel. I like the idea of using only one line and in future I will use a piece of wood clamped as a guide.

@waynebusse6376 2 жыл бұрын

I took an idea from the biscuit industry where the biscuits are mashed to put dimples in the surface to help carry more glue into the joint. I use loose tenons that I custom make in large batches. I make the fit really tight and then compress them in a vice that has a nice pattern on the jaws that make 1/8'' by 1/4'' waffles on the tenons. I do this right before using them so the waffles don't swell back out from moisture in the air. I've done stress tests and the glue joint is super strong compared to using regular tenons. Sometimes I use a up cut spiral for deep tenons but if the tenon is shallow I use a slot cutter bit to make a longer shallow mortise. You have to move pretty fast on the glue up as the dimples start to swell as soon as the glue is applied. You can also compress traditional tenons the same way.

What you mentioned about worrying about the two lines and trying to fit between them is something that has been an issue for me. Also the tip on drawing perpendicular lines along the mortise definitely will make it easier to avoid slight twist in the chisel as you advance.
