Can you also speak …
Can you also speak in metric? For instance if you use 19mm thick material the mortice will be one third. At around 3 min 10 sec a fescool was mentioned. I hope you include metric in your demos. Thanks good show.

What is the model number of that router? I’m looking for one that is able to cut a barrel channel for a custom rifle stock.

Perhaps you ‘Woodworkers’ Should choose a way to spell mortise, Preferably the right way and stick with it.

Hey Kev. There …
Hey Kev. There will always be a delay with your comments showing up. I moderate them.
As far as rounding over tenons, I don’t really get too precise. I just round them over enough so that they fit. Trying to round over an integral tenon with a router is going to be very tricky. So a few swipes with a chisel does the trick in short order.

Sorry for all the …
Sorry for all the posts, it wasn’t posting my comment so I kept trying, GUH!
So you round your tenons with a chisel? Thats easier than a straight bit and a jig maybe? I like how fast your set up time is for your mortis and tenons, so I’m suprised that your say that you freehand the radius on your tenons.

Hmmm… Then my woodwork teacher of 50 years ago was wrong huh? I would put him right, but he is no longer with us!
I guess that must be another contrary example of the common language that divides our two great nations.WW! Power to your elbow my friend. regards JW ~winks~

but surely, us wood workers dont need telling how to make a mortice and tenon joint? its like telling a mechanic what the dip sticks for
no ill keep watching your vids if they have something informative to offer the common wood worker

Nope. Generally …
Nope. Generally the sides of the mortise are called the sides of the mortise. The flat face of the tenon is indeed referred to as the cheek. I imagine its a reference to the human body, and the perpendicular relationship between our shoulder and our cheek.

Aren’t the ‘cheeks’ …
Aren’t the ‘cheeks’ in fact the sides of the mortise, rather than the sides of the tenon? I.e. cheeks surround an orifice! (No crudity intended)

Wow, i am impressed. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skill. You are a good communicator. This is applicable to us average joe woodworker that doesn’t have a $100,000 delta woodworking shop. ya know the kind of host who says, now i’ll just run this over to my mortiser then presto and your like, what the heck just happened.
