For rock-solid joinery
on your woodworking projects, a mortise and tenon joint is hard to
beat. Unfortunately, the joint can be even harder to make.
This is largely because cutting a mortise is such a demanding operation.
The conventional means of making a mortise is to drill a series of
holes in a row, and then use a chisel to pare away the waste. It’s
an arduous task that eats up a lot of shop time. |
