Mortise & Tenon for Beginners with Hand Tools - Start Woodworking - Class Eight

[@robnichols9331]

I started watching these videos to learn about thing I didn't know how to do. Now I'm finding more and more useful, watching videos about thing I know how to do, as there are so many gems and details that make doing these tasks so much more effective. Thank you.

[@TurningTool]

Plexiglas, for the purpose of teaching what is going on inside the mortise worked very well. Great idea. Seemed a bit hard to work with; but your pain is our gain. Thank you.

[@hiker64]

Your lessons have been a nightly accompaniment to dinner - Thank you for the time you spent putting these together.

[@soofihasan]

God bless you, your effort and time spent on sharing practical knowledge is priceless. Wish you success and happiness

“They’ve been talking about sticking poles in holes since the Adam and Eve day” I died laughing!! OMG

Me too.

[@Gotmovezlikejagga]

Great video, your simple, step by step method gives the confidence to the viewer "I can do this". The white board explanations are an essential part to your excellent teaching methods. Its the perfect blend of theory and practical. One thing that makes this one of the best wood working channels is your detailed explanations of the "basics", scrap the mortise side walls, no need to be fancy, add the extra 1/4 inch to the depth and so on. Thank you, for sharing your passion of hand tool working with your viewers.

[@jeffreypound2904]

Thanks!

[@heidbumbee1689]

Excellent demonstration of how the cuts work. I thought that the plexiglass worked well in allowing us to see the effects of the cuts. So much more effective than drawings or animation

[@jeanlucvassort6411]

thanks again, your demonstrations and explanations are so excellent, at this level it is Art of teaching. Be proud of your work, we are lucky - Thanks ...

[@jimduhaime9]

The plexiglass was a wonderful idea. Thank you for your great instruction.

[@danoi99]

Such enthusiasm. I've learnt loads during this bloody 2020 Covid cluster**** ! I've made some dovetailed jewellery boxes, a pine fruit tray thing. Now planning a bookcase. Old dog.....with new tricks !!

[@vincentpillay3408]

Well explained and well demonstrated. Thanks very much

[@loucinci3922]

I like the plastic. Good visual aid. Nice job.

[@KennethColeStatenIsland]

You are a GREAT teacher. Thank you

[@dadsgarageworkshop607]

I just wanted to say thank you for the inspiration. I'm getting back into wood working and am very new! I watch A LOT of your videos on my personal account and have started my very own youtube channel!!! I love how you teach the basics and am using those in my own wood working!! I would be honored if I could mention you in some of my videos and in the description. Thank you again for getting me back into wood working!!!

[@wortheffort]

Mentions and links are the backbone of the internet.

[@RKELLEHER40]

Howdy, brother! The plexiglass worked out great and helped confirm and better understand the concept and technique . As always, great instruction.

[@dpbjlee83]

Always worth my time - ALWAYS learn something new.

[@joelegrand5903]

I like the side view demo. Good video.

[@GraemePayne1967Marine]

Great video, especially seeing what the wedges can do. Thank you!

Great lesson Shawn. Thanks.

[@fiberinspector1304]

GREAT VIDEO!! I enjoyed and learned. The problem is when I watch these, I find I am not as smart in woodworking as I thought.

thanks! only the small bit in the mortise corners tip was WORTH THE EFFORT of watching this.

[@lesterhayes5777]

Awesome video ! I will definitely try these techniques. Thanks !

go make a mess

[@thangarajt.s2782]

I learnt the mortise you were teaching from Paul seller.

[@wortheffort]

Thangaraj T.S and your point is?

[@thangarajt.s2782]

@@wortheffort I mean I just saw mr Paul sellers video on how to make mortise just a few days back . And he explained with a transparent material to show how a chisel works under the wood .just his method reminded me of mr Paul sellers method

[@jimcooney9019]

GREAT VIDEO I enjoyed it Cool one

[@mwrcrft]

Bob Lang had a similar demonstration a few years back at WWIA good stuff.

[@candidosalgado]

Hi Sir, thanks for the excellent lesson. Your clarity in explaining wood working and the care with every simple detail is really something awesome. Cheers from Perth.

[@RAVENFinewoodworking]

Came for the mortise and tenon, left with the sharpy marking for depth. :)

[@wortheffort]

sharpies and blue tape.....

[@davidmoore2832]

Excellent explanation of the subject, what angle would you advise for the mortice chisel

[@tim_biller]

Using the plexiglass is genius!

[@wortheffort]

Didn’t quite work out as I’d hoped.

[@tim_biller]

@@wortheffort It was really good.

[@th34lch3m1st]

Thank you for this series, your explanations are always valuable. Watching this video I think I found a possible answer to the crushed fibers problem. In the middle of the cutting action, at a constant blade speed, all the layers of the long grain fibers are cutted without been compressed, because the speed and the power of the cutting edge are many orders of magnitude higher than the cut resistance of the fibers. But at the begin and at the end of the cut, for few milliseconds, the blade it's not at a constant speed and constant energy. It accelerate at the very begin and it decelerate at the very end. Watching carefully through the plexiglas we can see that the fibers crush and compress at the very end of the cutting action. There's probably a momento at the end of the cut, at a microscopic level, in which the decreasing power and speed of the cutting edge is no longer enough to cut the last fibers before it stops, but is enough to compress them. Obviously this is more noticeable on the springy fibers of the pine than the more rigid fibers of the walnut. For this very reason we should use a depth stop when we chiseling (I'm joking here, but not too much).

[@wortheffort]

Tool was slightly dull to show a point that this is a brute force action not a delicate motion. Sharp it would glide through.

[@th34lch3m1st]

@@wortheffort That is true. I'm thinking about it again, I think the bevel too play a big role, no matter how sharp the edge is. I think with 1 micron thin blade with almost no bevel maybe you will get no compression, but that is not feasible. The more you advance the blade the more fibers are pressed down by the bevel, till the point where the compression in front of the blade could reach the fibers underneath the cutting action and crush them before they were cut, that's my guess. PS: That one about woodworking inventor was hilarious :D

[@dagored100]

Did not know there was a special chissel for it...great info... thank you

[@МихаилПопов-и1э]

Thank you very much, Sir.

[@emm_arr]

Thank you ... Is it raining there? It sounds like it. It's nice.

[@wortheffort]

Yes it was

[@petrsidlo7614]

It is interesting to see you using Narex chisels, are they common in the US? What is your opinion on them? I started woodworking just a few months ago and use them because they were reasonably priced a made in my country, wonder how they stack up abroad.

[@woodworkingonthecheap3075]

Awesome video! I needed this.... :)

[@DarkHonoR187]

"Stock poles in holes since the Adam and Eve day" 😂😂😂 love this guy

[@Exodus5K]

How much do you fuss with sizing your wedges and mortise flaring when wedging a through-tenon? Do you have any tricks to make sure that the wedges close the gap in the mortise by the time they bottom out?

[@wortheffort]

I eyeball ‘em.

[@gearyclemmons5476]

Why are there so many different Mallets and hammers?

[@jayd4256]

Putting poles in holes ;) I see what you did there. For further immaturity I have added that I am first :D

[@thomassutrina7469]

plexiglass a great idea. However would you worry about wood the thickness of that plexiglass breaking out? My guess YES. Need thicker plastic.

[@wortheffort]

It was only for video. Won’t likely do again.

[@BradsWorkbench]

I thought the plexiglass was a pretty cool visual

[@brianlasch144]

Yeah I agree, honestly if he used 3/8 poly carbonate he wouldn't have the flex.

[@wortheffort]

$$$$$$

[@BradsWorkbench]

@@brianlasch144 i think even with the flex it still gives a good representation of whats goin on in there.

Adam Pierce so why say I’m a subpar Sellers knockoff?

[@pierdolio]

wortheffort “come on” I never said nor did I intend to imply that you were “subpar”. What I said in simpler terms was that you demonstrated something like Paul Sellers but your technique was different. I hope I made it clear and that you understand I meant no insult.

[@wortheffort]

Adam Pierce misunderstanding then with wording.
