Yes plans please! This would look great in my kitchen, though I might have to practice up on my mortise and tenon joinery, yours are so clean.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Thanks man! Don't practice too much though, just go for it. 😉

[@educatedrobotconsumer7219]

Man Shane, all your videos are so informative. I really appreciate the effort you put into the presentation and the detailed advise. My knowledge cache is growing with every video.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Heck yeah, I’m happy to hear that! Thank you for watching.

[@ping170]

It's either a stopped dado or a mortise and double bastard tenon 😋 Main point is: it works 👍

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Haha indeed, cheers!

[@nathansilver9190]

Mortise and tenon. You had me at first glance, I thought " no you buffoon, it's a stopped dado......then I saw it was in the middle of the panel ......buffoon.

I was just drawing up plans for something very similar. Love the mortises versus pocket holing everything to death. Clean and professional. The only thing I'm dreading is the glue up. 🤞

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Panel dado. Well done, really liked the overall design/style.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Thank you very much!

[@matthysloedolff]

I'd say that's a stop mortice, clearly. Great piece, Shane! Looks really good. One thing I've noticed about your videos is that even though they sometimes may be on the long end (20min+), they certainly don't feel long when I watch them. It's a skill few people can master I feel.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Clearly! Haha! Thank you man, it’s sometimes a grind to try to get the right pacing, but I’m happy to hear it’s working. Thanks again for your support.

[@alans1816]

Nice work, and excellent product. Repetitive processes can become dangerous. I'm not so sure I'd call them redundant. But I would call stopped dados that.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

That’s true, thanks man! I’m glad you enjoyed it.

[@FallofanEmpireBand]

Stopped dado. Because of the length. I think of M&T as being deeper and shorter. Recently added you to my woodworking channels. Top tier content.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

I agree. And thank you, glad to make the cut!

[@szeredaiakos]

There are a couple of dado stacks already approved in the EU. The Italian CMT stack is a good one.

[@mattelias721]

Stopped mortise dado tenon...? Who knows. One of my favorite sayings is, if it's stupid but it works then it's not stupid. Great execution - that's solid and top-notch. I think the only suggestion I could possibly make is to soak the feet end grain with epoxy to prevent any spilled water (busted pipe, inattentive kids, etc.) from soaking up into the island. Just a thought, and picky, but I build my stuff to survive the zombie apocalypse.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Haha! No doubt, I've done that for outdoor furniture but not for indoor stuff. I hadn't considered that might be an issue but I agree, it wouldn't hurt.

I would like to know what Festool Sanders you own and why did you choose the specific model(s) you own?

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

I have the ets 125 and 150/5 I like the 125 for smaller projects and the 150 for larger ones as it has much more surface area and removes a lot of material more quickly.

[@rmwoodcraftllc]

Mortise and tendon. If the male piece has a shoulder I would say M&T, if not, dado...that's my opinion anyway

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

I feel like this is the technically correct answer.

[@wyliewoodco]

Just curious how that top is gonna be able to move seasonally.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Honestly it shouldn't move a ton the lumber was kiln dried but there is a small amount of space front to back in the mortises.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Haha! You know, you’re not wrong. Unfortunately, I grew up in Virginia Beach and we don’t really have a franchise here. So, I’m a Mets fan because my father is, and an Eagles fan because he loves the Cowboys. I had to shake things up around the Holiday seasons haha.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

I’m with ya!

[@stevehoffman3341]

the finished piece is beautiful, but IMO your design does not allow for wood movement, and the cross grain situations will tear itself apart after a couple seasons.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

I’ve shared this in another comment but here’s the gist for the for the expansion issue you’re describing. The alignment of the radial and longitudinal grain in the mortise was chosen to balance aesthetics, strength, and wood movement. While alternatives like double stub tenons or figure 8 fasteners could be used, this design aligns with my vision for the piece and takes into consideration the expansion and contraction of the wood. So while I do understand your concern there is space for wood movement built into the joinery and that was heavily considered during the design process.

[@crude75]

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Sounds like you’ve had a real break through. I’d say I’m proud of you but that would be a pretty awful joke too. So instead I’ll just say may your sense of humor find its perfect match, like socks lost in the dryer. Here’s to the jokes that land and those that fly over your head.
