That is a great way of finding a center, but it can also be used as a quick way to divide a length into several equal divisions, if you want equal spacing between screws for example. You don't need to mark all increments, all you want is one or two marks, referencing from the edge, and then you can use a compass (circle?) to reproduce that same length with very high accuracy.

@@markthomasson5077 Yes, so do I and furthermore, the adjustable square doesn't need to be set accurately to half the width of the wood. Instead, if it's a bit out, you get two parallel lines, maybe a millimetre or so apart and it's easy to accurately judge the centre simply by eye. That may not sound very scientific, but the resultant error is usually far less than the width of a pencil line.

Great channel! Great content. I build traditional Square rule timberframe buildings. One thing I never see on KZbin is a corner chisel. They are hard to find easy to make. Use a piece of 1 inch angle iron sharpen the inside edges and heat treat it. You don't need a fancy oven just heat to red hit and quench in oil. Weld a piece of solid rectangular steel to the 8 inch long piece of angle iron and make a wooden handle to slide over the steel tang. So nice to use on the inside corners. Fast and nice square corners. I took a timber framing school in Connecticut years ago and that was the first time I used one.

@brucelee3388 Жыл бұрын
To help keep your drilled holes vertical, set up a bit in a block or vise so it is vertical (use a level), tighten your drill to that, then glue a 'bulls eye' bubble level to the back of the drill so the bubble is centered. These levels used to be very common as people used them to set up their record turntables, but they are still available if you look around out there. Also, if you drill some small -say 1/16 (1.5mm) - holes in each corner it is easier to get the chisel into that square corner (unless you are using a specialized mortise or register chisel) as bevel edged chisels tend to squeeze out of the corner due to the wedging action of the bevel, so you may have to make the cut a few times for each corner.

I would like to offer a few extra options as well, which I think are often overlooked. You can make round mortise and tenon as well (big round hole, big round tenon obviously). One I like even more, if you have any plunge routing capabilities (like a milling machine) or if you just really don't like or isn't good yet at squaring those corners after drilling like in the vid, just make a slow with rounded edges (like a "domino" slot, if you will). Ideally the tenon is a close match, but if it is gonna be invisible, a sloopish work at the round ends works too, glue and fine saw dust as a filler if you were really lazy, I mean sloppy. With just a few powertools and/or a chisel and rasp, I think it is both easy and sort of trivial (skill and experience aside) to figure them out and do them. Never did the round one meself, but the pieces I've seen with it, no problem, besides a potential spinning in place in assembly or over time when the glue gives up. I actually prefer the rounded ends over traditional square ones for through mortise and tenons, just for the aesthetics. And you can do all traditional reinforcement techniques for square ones with these too (wedged, with a dowel/pin through the mortise and tenon, bolt through, same ideas, just adapted to a modified shape, also these fix the round one's potential spining).

Great tips as always, Jim. I have a video topic idea for you. A while back you showed a router technique with a various bearing sizes to make panels with complementary curved edges that would fit together perfectly. Could you modify that technique to use only a straight bit of a common size (1/2"?) and a standard cheap bushing set like the Harbor Freight one? I haven't sat down to figure all the math to see what the proper size combinations would be, but it seems like it should be possible at first glance. Router bits can get expensive so it would be cool to be able to have a potentially cheaper alternative for someone who might already have a bushing set. Thanks for all the great content!
