Joint Venture Ep. 55: Mitered through mortise and tenon in round stock (Joinery)

In this series I explore different wood joinery techniques. This is not a 'how to' video. Just sit back and join me on my venture to find beautiful joinery! More Projects on: www.dorianbracht.com German website: www.tischlereibracht.com Instagram: / dorianbracht

[@Darkassassin09]

The way the title is worded, I figured you were laying out and then cutting the joint into already-round wood (ie 'round stock'). I was interested to see houw you would manage that, but I'm not disappointed with what you ended up doing instead. Great work man, keep it up :)

[@pvtimberfaller]

Exactly

[@DorianBracht]

Thanks! To do it in round stock you would need to snap a center line and mark from that.

[@Trippy518]

@@DorianBracht Actually its better to draw a reference line around the stock to set the start point of 45 deg angle. getting the angles on same reference is critical. Once you cut one of the angles you can cut the first face of tenon to that angle. That will give you a flat to reference your next angle to. Cutting the tenon after that is pretty straight forward. Getting the mortise in line in round stock is a huge challenge. I have done one it was not quite as pretty as yours but it did function for all intensive purposes.

[@benreber2277]

This is amazing work. It looks great. Do you use wood glue to hold the joint together or what is your method to keep the joint from pulling apart over time.

[@DorianBracht]

Thanks. I left it open to the person making it. It can be glued, wedged, pinned, keyed, etc.

[@1967250s]

Most Excellent! Now, how do you keep the joint like that from working loose?

[@DorianBracht]

Thanks! You could wedge it, pin it, glue it , dovetail it etc

[@kimkeller9724]

You should make a mallet out of it with big taper towards the bottom of the handle.:)

[@kevindowd7769]

Love your work Dorian! I suppose because of aesthetics a draw pin was not used through the side to add mechanical strength as well as chemical

[@DorianBracht]

Thank you! I left it blank because there are so many options for securing.

[@robohippy]

I would have to round the pieces out on my lathe/lathes. With careful lay out, it should work, but do all the mortice and tenon work before turning. Shouldn't be too much of a problem making sure they are the same size/diameter...

[@DorianBracht]

Whatever works best in the shop. Always gotta stay efficient ;)

[@constantinosschinas4503]

*now start this directly from round stock.* triple the fun! some round to rectangular rigs to keep orientation will be handy. but still how to mark properly?

[@DorianBracht]

From a centerline. I will do joinery in proper round stock in a future video. Dylan Iwakuni shows the technique well in twisted stock on his youtube channel.

[@SandeepSinghMango]

Wow hearing and seeing the sound not being synced with your movement was oddly satisfying

[@DorianBracht]

:)

[@michaelfiller3452]

Another inspiring video! Might I suggest another, where the two pieces are not the same diameter, maybe the piece with the tenon is 3/4 diameter of the piece with the mortice. I am trying to visualize the layout steps, is it any different.

[@DorianBracht]

Thank you! Yes, you would have to miter the sides as well.

[@gunterschone8402]

[@mikeallen7566]

Nice work , would you put a wedge in that tenon ?

[@DorianBracht]

Thank you! Whatever you wish, but wedge would be most sturdy I think.

[@adrianchatelaine4857]

Should one use wood glue when joining..or is the pressure fitting enough to keep together

[@maxdecphoenix]

glue doesn't hurt. Most modern glues have stronger cohesion than the woodgrains they're gluing together. historical techniques for fastening joinery are wedged tenons where a wedge is beat into the tenon to press it against the mortice walls in a friction fit, and 'pinning' where a hole is bored through the mortice and tenon and a wooden dowel or 'pin' (like a nail) is inserted to fasten the joint mechanically.

Hallo Dorian, es ist immer wieder eine Wonne zu sehen, mit was für einer Präzision Du arbeitest. Insbesondere bin ich immer wieder fasziniert wie Du mit einer doch eigentlich recht groben Ryoba umgehst. Toll! Darf ich fragen, wo Du gelernt hast "japanisch" zu arbeiten (z.b. Flächen einzufärben und dann zu planen)? Meine zweite Frage: Von welcher Marke sind Deine Sägen? Viele Grüße Martin Hello Dorian, always a pleasure to watch you working which such a precision. I am fascinated how you handle a Ryoba, which is actually quite rough. Super! May I ask you where you learned to work the japanese way (e.g. coloring areas and then planing them)? My second question: Which brand are your saws? Kind Regards Martin

Isn't it funny: we take round trees, spend a great deal of time and energy making them square, then turn around and round them again. It feels like there's a wasted step or two in there. (There's NOT, mind you, but damned if it don't _feel_ that way sometimes)

It's amazing that after all of that meticulous beautiful handcrafting that it amounts to nothing but a pretty piece of work it serves no purpose is an exercise in wasted effort. Put your talent to work building something that really matters instead of just showing off that you can do it

[@HistoricHomePlans]

Quincy, note in the description Dorian writes, "In this series I explore different wood joinery techniques." The whole purpose of "this series" is to look in detail at various joints. In this way he can explore many more joints than he would be able to if he was committed to building an entire furniture piece every time. Note also that Dorian has many other videos were he DOES build entire pieces.
