Cutting Mortise and Tenon Joint

Cutting mortise and tenon joint with a chainsaw and hand tools.

[@felineth56]

So satisfying! I love to watch these kind of videos that show good craftsmanship and the sound of wood cutting with well sharped chisels!

[@manitoulintimberframes4968]

Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it!

[@mrboyban]

Loved that chainsaw

[@manitoulintimberframes4968]

That chainsaw sound just doesn't get old, haha!

[@LaurentBourdier]

Starting with a chainsaw and ending with a seamless joint, I’m amazed.

[@manitoulintimberframes4968]

That's how we roll, Laurent Bourdier:) Thanks for the comment!

Love to see it, especially a corded saw, vindicates my ideas about what a good jig might be for starting out without dropping crazy $ on the specialty plunge or skilsaw timber cutter monstrositys.

Beautiful craftsmanship .Very precise . That chisel was very sharp .Great close- in video shots.

[@manitoulintimberframes4968]

Thank you Jennifer!

I’d love to come see your shop someday! My dad was a woodworker and taught me everything I know. Your work is impeccable and watching your video was mesmerizing. Loved it!! It must be so gratifying when you chisel away and remove the scrapings. Your precision and your love for your craft are both a beautiful thing. We are lucky to have you on the island.

[@manitoulintimberframes4968]

Thank you for the kind words Christine.

[@nathanek6598]

Good work! Nice to see you don't have any blue stain in your timbers.

[@manitoulintimberframes4968]

Thank you! We try to stay away from sapwood in general.

[@mikes8839]

Ty for video.

Our pleasure! Glad you liked it!

AMAZINGLY Gorgeous wood Work Great video work too 👏🏼✌🏽❤🙏🏽

[@manitoulintimberframes4968]

Thank you! Videography is by Forrest Stevens of Different Media. Check out his channel about Van Life - it's pretty awesome!

[@HWCism]

Nice work, thanks

[@manitoulintimberframes4968]

Thanks for watching!

[@boywonder6659]

That’s one lovely slick.

[@manitoulintimberframes4968]

My slick did not make an appearance in this video. That is my go-to 2" chisel. Good idea though, I should make a video using a slick...

[@JohnPoletto]

This is awesome.

[@manitoulintimberframes4968]

Thank you! I do love what I do:)

[@mikdin1]

Awesome work. Is that a Barr chisel paring the mortise?

[@manitoulintimberframes4968]

Yes, it is!

[@boywonder6659]

Excellent.

[@manitoulintimberframes4968]

Thank you.

[@GYAKR]

Nice slick. Is that red pine? Still interested in working with you this spring.

[@manitoulintimberframes4968]

This is just a 2" chisel, not a slick. My slick is 3.5" wide, it's a two-handed thing. I'll pull it out in a video soon, thank you for reminding me about it! The wood is Eastern White Pine. Red Pine is too sappy for this kind of work. To apply for a carpenter position with us, please go to www.manitoulintimberframes.ca/employment and follow directions at the end of the offer.

[@thomasholdtchristensen9566]

Nice work sir. Im a woodscraft teacher from Denmark, and use your videos in my class some times. Where did you get that chisel?

[@manitoulintimberframes4968]

Thank you for the kind words! This chisel was forged by Mr. Barr Quarton, www.barrtools.com. This is the best 2" chisel I ever held - keeps the edge, well-balanced, and light weight (comparatively).

[@refusedone]

Very cool thanks for sharing…you hiring?!

[@manitoulintimberframes4968]

You bet! head over to our website for the position offer under "employment".

He forgot the glue at the end

[@manitoulintimberframes4968]

We don't use glue in our joints. Is this what you were referring to?

@@manitoulintimberframes4968 Oh.. my bad - I apologize

[@user-vz6ef1ig9z]

То, как он точит режущую кромку стамески(под углом), мягко говоря -непрофессионально!

[@manitoulintimberframes4968]

Thank you for your comment. How would you sharpen it?

[@user-vz6ef1ig9z]

@@manitoulintimberframes4968 в специальной приспособе, где угол зафиксирован жестко. В ручную угол "плавает". Вы , конечно, мастер, но то, как точите, сильно меня удивило.

[@manitoulintimberframes4968]

@@user-vz6ef1ig9z Ah yes, I used these guides, for sure. I found that the exactness of the angle does not really make a difference, and after a while you get a feel for where the chisel needs to sit when it's ground hollow, i.e. the back and the front of the bevel touching the stone. So what if the bevel is slightly rounded? If it's sharp, and cuts wood like butter, it's what we're after in the end, right, not the perfect 25 degree angle?
