Description

Mortise and tenon joints are used when only the best construction will do. Forget about using biscuits or dowels for your fine furniture. These joints have been around for centuries because they’re the best you can use. Learn how to make these joints with a variety of methods. Try hand cutting and routing mortises, both for through and stopped joints. Learn hand and power tool methods for cutting and fitting tenons. Get practice with pinned, wedged, and interlocking tenons for chair, table, and frame constructions.
