I Can't Break This! Mortise & Tenon How to

[@kunalnarayan250]

Well done to KZbin for suggesting this to me! Being binge watching since last week when I saw my first video. Keep up the great work Scott and keep safe.

[@ottototo8]

Working with hand tools is certainly rewarding. Having said that, the precision and speed of a Dremel...

[@moomastico]

Nice dude. I know hand cut joinery is a bit of sideline thing for you but I can't tell you how much of a difference it made to me building a proper solid work bench with a vice. Using hand tools becomes a pure joy once you've got that sorted.

[@kevinkline3938]

I choose to watch the channel because I like it. It is -39 degrees C here in Calgary, Canada and all I can think of is moving to NZ and becoming your friendly competition!! Watching your channel gives my daydreams some substance while my nuts freeze to my leg!! Keep up the awesome content.

[@davidlawther3032]

I watch you because you are so funny, positive and an excellent carpenter and you are my favourite KZbinr. I can’t wait until you upload every week. I have watched every single one of your videos from day one and hope to join you as a builder one day. You deserve it. You are the best keep it up 👍

[@MikeBramm]

Congratulations on receiving your award. You've earned it. Keep up the good work.

[@theboogieman48]

This may be the most original and genuine channel I’ve stumbled across - keep it up Scott! 👍🏽🔨

[@hardrockbeat]

Your videos are such a Zen moment of doing meaningful work. Most of humanity will live their entire lives without knowing the feeling of your passion that so easily transcends through every video you produce. Thank you sir, for your work and your sharing.

[@sparx2391]

Well done with the award. I'm am an electrician in the uk, never miss one of your videos. That's a nice gift from Jessica, she might be worth taking on with wood working skills like that.

Very recently found your channel as I’m starting a career in Carpentry and was looking for insight. Wasn’t expecting to find your channel but your videos have a nice style to them and they are very pleasing to watch.

Agree - I stumbled on his too and just like the style

[@Pontus95]

Im actually thankful that your videos takes time from their day to be with me!

Hi Scott, recently started watching your channel. Enjoying it! I live in Edinburgh and was surprised to see John in this video, I know him through a friend, he built my kitchen in my first flat for me! Great attention to detail and skilled carpenter. I’ll mention you next time I see him👍🏼

[@beyondutility]

Highly recommend Paul Sellers for tutorials and info on hand tool work. Great channel.

[@baldyslapnut.]

Mr Sellers is demonstrating Western techniques. His use of marking knives should be universal. Don't trace joints with a pencil and then square up with a knife though.

[@robertlinell8467]

you deserve that award! Love your videos perfect to watch over and over when you don’t know what to watch 🤗🤗

[@llljustcallhimdave]

Congratulations on the 100k, well deserved. I watch because you make good content.

[@tippo5341]

Flash lookin M&T joint you made there Scott...the carpentry side and joinery sides of the trades certainly do lend to each other. One is a true trade, the other a true craft and art form. P6 is the way...Proper Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance...can be applied to so many facets of life!!!!! Congrats on the KZbin recognition as well, and we watch because we enjoy...the content and your thorough explanations make your channel great to watch...and the sense of humour...well much same as ours over the ditch.....PS: sorry bout all the smoke we've been sending your way 😁😁😁😁 Keep up the great work mate, love the channel

[@bigbadelmo]

You have a great channel Scott, your effort to increase the content beyond just going the job site gives added interest keep it up mate...you’ve done a great job!

[@Patrick-857]

Keep up the good work, you, Finish Carpentry TV, and Insider Carpentry are my favorite carpentry KZbinrs. I love how humble you are, and how you share your learning experiences with us. With the joinery work, I would be inclined to just use power tools made for the purpose. I'm latecomer to carpentry, having come from a telecoms background, and my solution for lack of skill is simply to get a tool to compensate. I decided my hinge installs were too crap using chisels, so I got a trim router and figured out how to use that to get them perfect, and I mean perfect. Maybe I'm lazy, but I think machines produce the most consistent and precise results.

[@ScottBrownCarpentry]

I'm with you on that. I certainly have the same approach on the job. In this case I look at it like I am practicing my golf swing lol. But when it comes to making some furniture I think I'll do it the most efficient way.

[@amiramin82]

Always great camera work, shows clearly what you are doing. Thanks bud

[@pavelonita5407]

[@jasonjamesoakes2181]

Congratulations man! That's really cool award. Love the channel, look forward to your vids. I've watched everything you've done lol. I'm a hard landscaper/bricklayer from essex, England. I've learnt some great tips from your channel and love the banter too. Good work.

[@Cameron2874]

Mike farrington and wood whisperer. Those both can be good to learn some great tips from regards furniture builds. Don't know if I spelt correctly but sure you can find them on here easily enough. Sometimes even just things I have forgotten comes to light when they show you alternative ways to do a cut or joint etc. Congratulations on the play button ( girlfriend one looks better) you need to put those skills to build a over the top frame/ plaque for hers. Keep up the great work. From an Aussie to a kiwi who now lives in Edinburgh 😂. Small world

[@OllyParryJones]

Congratulations on the milestone! :-) Always refreshing to see a carpenter who can still do things the old fashioned way. ;-)

[@robberlin2230]

Congrats mate, you do a great job of keeping the trades cool! A lot of Japanese tools I’ve noticed cut on the draw, which is different to western tools which cut on the push.

[@mjcooperman]

Well deserved dude. Your production values are worth watching the channel for alone. Being a top bloke and producing great work, on top of all the work you put in to your channel, is why we keep watching and spreading the good word. Onwards and upwards, SBC!

[@bensalisbury6839]

tip for mortise and tenon joints: Always start with the mortise and not the tenon, helpful if mistakes are made but not overly necessary

[@mtadams2009]

I am new to this is it ok to start with inexpensive pine or does certain types of wood work better. Thanks

[@iainmacdonald4433]

Hey man, When I done my apprenticeship in Scotland you are trained in college as a carpenter & a joiner, regardless of wether you do site or bench work, the first block release we had in college we done a variety of basic wood joints, corner half laps, half laps, dove tail half laps and mortise & tenon joints. They do this to test your basic skills with hand tools and attention to detail. Did you have to do these in training? I’ve never had to make another mortice and tenon joint on site, but I used to thoroughly enjoy the bench work in college. Can’t say I’d like to do it full time though. Cheers

[@forte2523]

Scott, gunna help you out with your extension cord to make sure it NEVER twists. First straighten the damn thing out. Make a normal loop, make another loop but instead of just joining them reverse your hand when you do so the loop is opposite to the first, do this every second loop and your cord will NEVER bind and you can throw the whole length without twists. This will also help with the life of the cord. You will find after a while that the cord will naturally be straight every time you want to use it.

[@axelbergman5077]

Using the technique of winding the cord around you're arm makes for some intense twisting action. Also starting you're winding at the plug end of you're power tools. yes i might have som cord ocd....

Mortise and tenon how ever complex it´s like a sport or art or mastery of anything, repeat, repeat, repeat and after them 10k hours put into mastering the craft you can to it really great. I feel like the modern market systems have robbed us of that, there is rarely any people in the crafts that have managed to do something for that long now that they could call themselves the real master.
