I have been doing most my wood working with mechanical fasteners or biscuits. How ever I would like to expand my wood working skills to use more mortise and tenon joints. My question on this is there a mathematical rule of say 50% less the thickness of the board is what the mortise and tenon should be? or is it in standard sizes like 1/4" /12" 3/4" etc...
As an edit to my post I would also like to know if the same type thing applies to the depth of a mortise and length of a tenon? how are those determined?
