Get the Katz-Moses Magnetic Dovetail Jig here: lddy.no/stiz
This weeks woodworking joint is the Tusked Mortise and Tenon. I use a combination of hand and power tools to cut it and it’s actually easier than you think. It’s a beautiful decorative joint used in furniture, timber framing, and so many other applications. It takes some practice but it teaches you how to cut wedges as well as mortise and tenon ultra accurately. It is an incredible way to practice super accurate joinery techniques. Let me know in the comments what joint you’d like to see next week. Thanks for watching! Please like, comment and subscribe. Cheers!

The wedges in the trestle tables I grew up eating at were slightly different than this, in that they were wider (or at least protruded further out) on the top than on the bottom. This meant that you could tighten them quite firmly by knocking them down into the mortises, and still be able to loosen them just as easily by tapping them on the underside.

@chrispokorney6801 Жыл бұрын

I believe you are meaning that the tusk tenon was actually set at a degree, whatever that may be. At least 5 Degrees instead of using straight through. I use 8 Degrees. Just use a preference.

Do the butt joint for april fools. Also you should do it super serious, like cover several variations (pocket holes, glue and nail, glue and screw, 45 degree staples) and maybe even tour a factory that makes cheap furniture. Finally add a bonus IKEA style cam lock and nut joint at the end.

I dig it. If I may, I have a suggestion. Make the tenon taller (the direction that the wedge moves). That's where the strength of a tenon comes from (not so much the width) and you had wood to spare on the tenon piece. Thanks.

@jillcarlier4514 5 жыл бұрын

I'm really liking the Joint of the Week series! I've done mortise & tenon joints in a way similar to what you show here by hogging out most of the waste in the mortise and then coming back and cleaning up the edges with a chisel. However, I really struggle to get consistent corners when doing this. Do you have any tips on how to square the corners without overshooting the knife lines or bruising the corners?

@katzmosestools 5 жыл бұрын

Leave the corners until last and then tilt your chisel away from the corner but using the flat back of your chisel on the face you already cleaned up. Then attack it at the skew angle. Also you can slow down youtube videos in the setting button so you can watch me do it in slow motion. cheers!

How easy is this joint to come apart? I am going to be making what I will be considering an "Heirloom" master bed for my wife and I and I do not want to use any metal fasteners on it. I have been thinking about doing a tusked joint for the rails into the foot board, but started thinking that they might get loose and wobbly, or might break the end of rail off. I am wanting a joint that is very secure, but will allow us to take the rails out when we move.

@gnarthdarkanen7464 5 жыл бұрын

Wood also "forgives"... Along with flexibility, depending on hardness, moisture content, and species, wood will "squish" a bit... SO you can get away with a little less 1/16" (1mm) with softwoods... and about half-that with hardwoods. Chamfers are also often employed because of this quality... The "crisp 90 degree" square corners are "Chamfered" or carved to a 45 degree, or even rounded over, so help "mating pieces" more easily match up... just a touch of sanding to smooth the surface to surface meetings... and a very tight fit can be managed without splitting... BUT it takes practice... lots of practice... and especially early on, it's easy to split and break joints a LOT... I'm just another "goob" on the internet, but I do a lot with reclaimed wood... "garbage"... SO my current "standard rule of thumb" is to be able to at least get a joint half-way together by hand (no mallet or hammering) in a dry fit before I'm ready to glue and assemble. I try not to let myself get too heavy handed about it, either... but it's okay to work for it a little... wiggling back and forth as you push fingers to slots, or pins to tails (dovetails) or tenon into mortise... etc... Usually around the half-way or two-thirds together territory you can even use a flashlight and visually SEE what's probably going to be a problem (and take care of it) or that you're tight but good to go ahead. ;o)

@fourshortsixleft 5 жыл бұрын

Great video! Do you find that your marking gauge leaves a small roundover on one side of the line due to the slight flare on one side of the cutter? Maybe I'm pressing to hard, but I've had that gauge leave the outside of my mortises with a slight roundover which can look sloppy. I've started marking the far side of the mortise so that the flare of the cutter is on the waste side of the line. Is this something you've run into?

@katzmosestools 5 жыл бұрын

Go really light with you marking gauge and if needed darken up with your marking knife and a square like I do in this video. I usually wait until I'm ready to cut/chisel before I darken it up, that way I can fix and small errors created during the previous steps.

It shows in your content and anyone who thinks this is a good way to make a living better want to work 60-80 hour weeks because that's what it takes. I really can't wait to see how you do. I LOVE beer and subscribed. Also stop looking at the view finder screen. Make eye contact with the lens only. It's tough to do but looking at the screen makes everyone look like they're crossed eyed.

@katzmosestools 5 жыл бұрын

No but I do cut the mortise so that the back of the wedge will never touch the back of the mortise. That way it will pull in as tight as need be without any room for a screw up where I didn't cut the mortise deep enough.

Somewhere I read here or heard in vid, wedge had very slight taper to about - 5 degrees? Just enough that tapping wedge into tenon will tighten towards the mortised wood. Question : if the tenoned piece is for the side of a bed frame, is it better to do tenon with less shoulder? Or better to have wedge go horizontally into tenon?
