    Wedged tenon question

    I need to attach a couple of through tenons with double wedges for the cherry buffet I am building. I have never done wedged tenons before. When I researched it, it appears there are two different ways to do it: 1) angle the mortise to allow for the expansion caused as the wedges are hammered in...

    Floating /loose/slip tenon joint

    Are there any major reasons why you would use a true mortise and tenon joint of a Floating /loose/slip tenon joint? I could see if you were making a through tenon, but even then once it is glued into the mortise is there really any major difference?

    Mortise and tenon joints

    I'm working on making a bed headboard for my wife. Its basically a frame with slats running vertically that will be painted in the end. I'm so new at this, I was thinking that I'm going to dowel slats in place and possibly countersink a screw for reinforcement. I was talking to my father in...

    Tenon Saw Gloat?

    Found this at a yard sale for $10.00 last Saturday: I not all that familiar with tenon saws, so I'm not sure if this is a gloat or not. Brand name is "Paragon", which sounds French to me. There's a blurb about "Swedish Quality Steel" on one side of the logo, and "Diamond Sharpened" on the...

    Accent table-first attempt at mortise and tenon joints

    This table was made as a pine prototype I made before I make two more, one out of black walnut and one out of cedar (outdoor use as a plant stand), in order to try out my ability at mortise and tenon joinery. I cut them all on my router table and they turned out pretty clean I thought. The only...

    American Woodworker bought this one. Before I got a Woodrat, I used this jig for cutting tenons on door rails and still do if the 'rat is setup for something else. It's just a sled with a base, a mass block and a fence. I use a 1/2" spiral bit set usually 1" high. Pic shows side cut position...

    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...
