  • When you cut a mortice and tenon by hand, it's likely the fit won't be perfect right away. There can be various reasons for a gap around the shoulder and one of the most common is a mortice that's slightly out of square. This video goes through the quick fix.

    I love the simplicity and relaxed attitude of this guy. I watch some other channels and think “oh great, now I need to spend $1000 on some more tools if I want to make something that good”. Richard makes me realize I can do it in a simpler way with a little more time.

    I love the workman like mentality Richard. I've been wrestling with the choice of chisels to acquire this holiday season. I like the Irwin marples split proofs that you use. I just need to get over my vanity and back to sensibility and function. it's for some of those same reasons that I use the type of bench I use, the Nicholson Style English bench. It harkens back to the days of the real joiners, the blokes that did their work on site that were craftsman for no other reason but to put food on the table. Thanks mate

    Ah, I'm not there, yet. I've still to make a mortise and tenon that actually works even that good! Even have failed at finger joints and lap joints! Have had success at gluing boards together into small panels, though...

  • @andreicharpentierquesada4530

    Nice video, a form that ive seen that japanese carpenters do to have "perfect" mortises is to make the mortise a little shorter and clean the sides clamping a square piece of wood flush in the line of the edges, and cleaning with chisel using the wood as guide, relative similar as what you did in the video as a guide, but with the bevel, not the sides

    Interesting. My hand cut mortises always end up cocked like that, more or less. It discouraged me, and so I switched to boring out the mortise with a brace and bit. I found I could be much more square this way. But perhaps I was analyzing too much with theory, and thus panicked. "I think these tight tenons are a new thing anyway."

    • @bighands69
      @bighands69 Před 4 lety +1

      If you cut hundreds of joints by the end you will be an expert at cutting them. If you are only doing them every now and then you are not going to be that good unless you are a natural (very rare).
      Do 4 mortise and tenon joints a week for practice and by next year you will feel that you are great at them and a year on from that you will feel like a master craftsman.
      Same applies for dovetails.
      It takes about 2000 to 10000 hours of practices to become an expert at something.

    Hey, we're being forgiven all our sins, when everybody else is suggesting we "just" need to work to micrometer tolerances. I like that, feels more like my kind of reality.
