Excellent so far, really enjoyed the down to earth approach and easy to understand tutorial.
The mitre saw would do the job but I thought it overall quicker and easier to be accurate with a jig on the table saw. Cheers
NIce job. Did you think to make the wedges on you miter saw? It works.
Really cool, thanks for sharing!!
Great work matey! I’m about to start making doors and windows for my entire new house!
Thanks, your comments are much apreciated. Yes it’s my first full size door although I made a small door for under my spiral stairs before.
Cheers Andy
Steller video series Mate!…Im going to give this a go some day…Have to get a mortise machine first my drill press just doesent have the mussel to go over 1/4″
Was this really your first attempt at doing this?
Anyway Im very impressed and encouraged I can do this now. Really like your easy way about you..Keep the great teaching coming.
Much appreciated from fellow woodworker from across the pond a good ways.
Overall very good. Your clamping was done a little improper though. Clamps should be over/under 180° to one another. Other than that fantastic!
very, very nice. thanks .
Thanks, The wife ‘ll not chase me when I’ve got latex gloves on, not sure why.
I found your website last night whilst looking for information about planer thicknessers and found this video tonight whilst pondering about how to make a strong mortise and tenon joint. Both very informative!
Glad to hear you use the one true music for speeded up film. Could your wife not complete the picture by chasing you round the table a few times?

Going out right now to make that jig. Brilliant. Thank you
very nice thank you
a dowel throught the mortise and tenon would probly be stronger
Thanks telosfd, In England definately mm for me now when I’m being accurate. Although I think in feet and inches when I’m doing rough estimates.
In England using mm or inch? Nice job any way!!!!!!!!!
. It’s a morticing machine that makes the square hole. t’s like a drill press with a square chisel around the drill bit. So the drill removes most of the wood and the chisel bit squares of the hole.
Hey man, what’s the name of the tool than make the square holes? Good video!
Cheers Wellychef. The completely finished might be a while yet as it’s handed over to “other half” for for the leaded glass work!
from beginning to end this was brilliant! i especially loved the finale with the benny hill theme! well done! cant wait to see it!
