How to cut a mortice and tenon joint in Oak on site.

Great video

Hi it must be warmer than my place !! keep the videos coming great presentation, now that's a craftsman at work. Nice to see the subscriptions climbing

Hi Del green Oak the smell is lovely when working with it, good old router got some power to them thanks for posting all the best Tony 👍

Very nice 👍🏻

Lovely job. Nice wiggle when fitting the mortice.

Nice job. a good tip for someone less experienced than yourself when cutting tennons with a circular saw like that cut the shoulder first then cut back towards it . very easy to cut beyond the line .

Like a glove , great workmanship as always 👍🏻

Exactly what I was looking for, no need for a drill guide. Thanks for such a helpful video.

NOOICE!

Hi, loved watching video, i would love to see you do an angled tenon joint for a knee brace. I admire your work
Thankyou

Hi, can't you get a router bit that's long enough to cut the full depth o the mortise ?
Thanks

I used to work on a period restoration company , oak framing . They were well into keeping stuff to period . Apparently the pegs were cut off leaving about one and a half inches protruding , this was as the oak shrunk and the joints became slack over the years , the pegs had enough length to be knocked home again . Not most customers cup of tea ,and we often had to cut them back to keep the client happy . Mind you it was a great thing to hang your coat on 😁 Also on complete oak house framez , eg traditional bay leaf , we wound have a short 'Trial' pair of a mortice and a tenon , these could be used to check joints without having to keep lift up the whole heavy lengths , although everything would be dry fitted with metal dowels , which could be more easily knocked out again , for disassembly and transporting. , sorry im babbling again Del , must be my age , brilliant job you done there , top work mate 😃👍👍👍👍

Very good instructional video! Do this sort of thing myself (even have the exact same Makita 3612 router!! ...what a workhorse they are 👍)
I love this sort of work, keep meaning to do a video exactly like this one day...now I don’t need to!
Just finished a porch project myself using this EXACT method! One little tip I learned from an expert Carpenter when I was a mere slip of a lad..(this is aimed at anyone watching this video who wants to complete a similar project and by no means aimed at The Tall Carpenter who clearly doesn’t need any tips from me..👍)
When the tenon is cut, at the edges where it abuts the cross member I normally just “crack the harrris’” with a block plane.
This creates a slight “shadow line” which means when the Oak shrinks (and it will..) the gap that’s left somehow doesn’t seem quite so obvious (which seems counterintuitive really cos essentially you’re giving the impression that there’s a gap there already??! But it works..)
Great video...love the instructional videos on framing roofs etc as well! 👍
Thanks

Another great video. Nice twerk at the end!

We did a similar job on an oak three bay garage luckily Hss Hire was open and we hired a chainsaw Mortise Machine do you know When you drilled your holes did you offset the mortise holes or did you drill straight through Many thanks Colin learning every day

What is the length and width of the tenon?

Very nice Del. 😉
I must have missed this video first time around. 🙃

Awesome job. Thanks for sharing

Using power tools you just make them joints look so easy, I remember having to mortise & tenon, dovetail and another one for my O level woodwork back in the 80's and struggling with a tenon saw and a chisel to take just the right amount off to leave a good tight fit.

The shadow was not noticeable for me 😊
