    Mortise and Tenon Rule of Thumb???

    Is there a general rule of thumb about what dimensions to make a mortise and tenon? I've dug around a bit and I've heard that your tenons should be 1/3 the width of the thickness of the board it's going into. I couldn't really find a good answer on how long or deep they should go. If there is...

    What router bit do you use to mortise hinges?

    I have been working on the "FOREVER PLAYHOUSES" and the latest is making doors and casings. I figured I would make a jig to mortise out the hinges with the router, but the problem I have is the router bit. I thought I had a pattern bit with a 1/2 inch cutter height, but I didn't. I had one...

    Cutting Mortise for Loose Tenon

    I am working out the plans for shelf units for my son and his wife as a Christmas gift. I previously asked the question about the best type of joinery to use and the concensus seemed to be mortise and loose tenon. I am planning on using a router with edge quide on a jig to cut the mortises on...

I am making a small table and the legs are splayed outward about 5 degrees, so the apron and...

    Mortise Bit Recommendations

    Earlier in the summer I purchased one of the Delta mortising machines. It came with some chisel bits, but I doubt they are that great. Does anyone know if these chisel bits are good -- or what is a better quality one of he market?
