Table Leg to Rail Joint - Mortise & Tenon
The most common way to join table legs to rails, is the mortise and tenon joint (specifically, the Stub Haunched Mortise and Tenon).
Due to the large raking forces developed on these joints, it is advisable to maximise the glue surface areas. However, since there are usually at least two joints per leg, there are other considerations.
I hope that this video will help you design and prepare strong and lasting joints for your tables.
Clearly, when rails increases in size, the single haunched tenons should be swapped for a double, twin, or even double twin, tenons:
- Stub Tenon: • Mortise and Tenon - St...
- Haunched Tenon: • Mortise and Tenon - Ha...
- Twin Tenon: • Mortise and Tenon - St...
- Double Tenon: • Mortise and Tenon - Do...
(I've yet to film the double twin, at the time of writing. But check the hand cut joints playlist in case I have by now: • Hand Cut Joints )
