- How to Cut Perfect Mortise and Tenons Quick and Easy
I get a great many emails asking me what is the best way to cut mortise and tenon joinery. I don’t think there is any best way, but I made this video to show you a quick and easy way using a router and a table saw sled to make perfect mortice and tenon joints.
Here is a link to see how to build my table saw sled:

That jig will make things so much easier, and so simple. What a Blessing to have your children interested and working along with you.
I can be thankful to those who post stuff like this. I learn a lot when people are willing to teach how to do stuff in woodworking.
You know I just wanna stop and say how generous it is of you and your time to show people like me how to create A mortise and tenon you were able to simplify it to a digestible process . I discovered your channel maybe a year ago and I’ve been very impressed with not only your generosity of information and giving of your time not to mention the friendly way you deliver it I appreciate what you do for this community that I am hopefully becoming part of
wow the shaving of the tenon instead of chiseling the mortise tip is awesome for quick jobs
Wow. I've been looking around on TH-cam for something like this and it has exceeded my expectations for help cutting mortises in 3x3 legs for a table I'm building. You should do wood shows (if you don't already). You get right to the point will clear and concise instructions.
Just in time as I'm preparing to do mortise and tenon joints with limited tools, it is also inspiring to see your family involved in the woodworking business. Thanks James
Hi Jaime. Thank you very much.
I love how your family joins in working in the shop.
This video really demystifies the process for rookies like myself. Thanks a million for the great video
The best teacher yet in this ! no more questions or thoughts. just got get to work and execute ! thank You - from Uganda , East Africa
James I just stumbled upon this most helpful video this morning. You've opened the door that just solved a major challenge for me. Now I know just how to make a triangular mortise and the mated tenon. Thank you ever so much.
Great presentation! Thanks for sharing! It's great to see a family working together!
Hi Michael, thank you!
nice to see the young people working and learning in your shop
Thanks James. You remind me of my shop teacher Paul. Brings back memories 🍦
Always wondered how this joinery is done, it is not easy but with lots practice I think I can follow it. Thanks it really helps me a lot.
When I see videos about mortise and tenons, and I see those people using only chisels, I used to say that I would never use that method because of the time it would take me, but I changed my position...because of your explaining...looks faster and much more user friendly!!! THANKS!!!
Good video as usual. I like to cut my tenons just a bit short (maybe a 64th) of the length or the mortise, so they won't bottom out. That way I know the shoulders will be tight against the mating piece.
this is the excellent way you uploaded this video for learners.Thank you very much .
Thank you Professor James for the video. Great instruction with no wasted effort or words. You, sir, are a great teacher.
Thank you, that was a very helpful video!
you have the best informative video and narration on youtube IMO. thank you!
Thank you for such a kind comment.
Fantastic tip. Love how all your children learned this wonderful trade. Speaks volumes of your character! Happy Father's day james! DAD of the YEAR!
Thank you Pat. You are very kind.
One of the best instructional videos I’ve seen for how to properly create a mortise and tenon. Great Vid! Love all of your videos!
Square corners are proper, not rounded and the differences will only be noticed after a long time. Square corners hold up better and leave less play and wiggle. This is very important depending on what exactly you utilize your mortise an tenon joinery for.
Another great video, clear and to the point. Very beautiful work. Wish you the best
Hi from Russia, thanks for video!
Another great video from the King Family! Thanks. ❤️
Hi Barbara. Thank you! Hope you are doing well, we miss you in the chat. And thanks for the mallet order.
King's Fine Woodworking Hi James: I continue to follow the chat, but now with all these new nicknames I don’t know who is who. 😏 Pretty confusing.
James, you’re the most unassuming person on TH-cam. Thank you for another interesting vid.
Thank you Robert, you are very kind.
Just wanted to say thank you for the videos. I'm new to wood working and I'm getting a lot of good info from watching your chanel. Thanks again. God bless.
Thank you.
That video was very well done and very informative. Thank you
Excellent demonstration of mortise and tenon joints. The table looks like it will be an interesting project.
Hi Don. Thank you.
Thank you
I
Am doing my first mortise and tenon table and was gong to
Hand chisel the project but not now After seeing that great easy way to do it.
I was skeptical on this video, but hey, it was a great video. Thanks dude
You guys always make everything look so easy.
Thank you.
Useful and well explained to the point video!!!
Just wonderful. Thanks.
I actually watched the video so I could see the last minute, i.e. how to fit a square peg into a round hole.
I'm going to use mortise and tenon joinery for my workbench that I'll be building this summer. I'll have 4x4 corner posts and I have already bought a 4" (length) spiral upcut bit for cutting the mortises. I'll do the tenons on the table saw, as you did. I've been going back and forth of whether I should square up the mortise or round over the tenon. Of all the ideas I've seen on TH-cam, I like your idea best. A rasp and a file are definitely time savers. I was resigned to chiseling out the mortise and even looked forward to the experience (since I've never done it before) but I think I'm going to go with rounding over the tenon. Thanks for showing the whole process.
Another fantastic tutorial from James
Thank you Andrew.
Well that's now the way I do them. Thank you. Also when I get paid I'm going to order your rocking chair plans 🤪
Thank you, great job as always!
Definately explained a process to me that I wouldn't have considered. Thank you so much! Fantastic!
Anytime my friend!
@@KingsFineWoodworking Now I just need a project that needs them. lol
I use a chisel Morticer which gives me square edges. My problem is cutting the tenons. The bandsaw only works if I have just set it up carefully and with a new blade. The circular saw is tedious without a dado stack and fitting that takes time. However I was given a Stanley hand router plane which I now use to finish off the tenon square and to the right depth. I either use hand tools or the band saw now and finish with the router plane.
Great video.
Just got those combo squares for my birthday. Added them to my Amazon wishlist on your recommendation on a previous video!
Awesome
Those are double squares. A combo square has 90 and 45s.
Awesome jig James ...thanks.
Great vid Sir, I’m trying to step up my joint work.. this vid shows how easy it can be. Thanks.👍🏼👍🏼
Well done great vlog peeps .
Thank you!
King's Fine Woodworking you’re welcome sir .
Thanks!
I just love watching these guys work together, being a father of 3 young girls it’s really inspiring to see you guys go at it together creating such wonderful pieces and sharing your knowledge with us all. Thanks so much.
Very informative, thank you!
thank you so much ,great explanation
Too bad others don't make videos like you do. Thanks again for sharing.
You are very welcome. Thank you for watching.
Very cool and great info! When I start making mortise and tenon this is the way I’ll be doing it!! 😁😁 thank you for the extremely helpful information James!!
Nice video. It is indeed easy. I am less confident about the 'accuracy' claim that yiou make
Great video. Thanks
I love your thor hammer, delivery was really quick considering I am in the UK
Thank you! I’m glad it arrived quickly. I’m surprised by how many international orders we get. Countries from all over the world.
As always, your videos are so detailed and concise. You referenced the high end router bit that you used to create the mortise but can you tell me what bit it is and where you purchased it? Thanks.
Nicely done, King family.
Thank you!
Another awesome one James!!
Thank you.
Those mallets are sick nasty
As always good and simple content. Thank you
Thank you.

Thank you
Thank you kind sir, as always great !!
amazing job people, thank you for teaching us
Thank you.
Great. Video. The router bit didn’t have an active link, which bit and bearing did you use?
Thank You, James, great video
Thanks Walter!
Thanks for the video James, as always, great content
Thank you!
Great video James, thank you! For a minute there, at the beginning of the sled demo I thought you had painted your fingernails, not knowing it was your daughters hand!! LOL!
@@samuelleonel4262 Nope...nobody cares about your spam
Perfect¿,great wrk,thank you
Nicely done!
Thank you.
Thanks for sharing that
Would love to see you build a nice audio/equipment rack 19"!
Hi James, It seems the links for the items used in the video are no longer active links, just text. Can you share which spiral upcut flush trim router bit you used? I'm looking to adopt your techniques here and wanted to get the right high end router bit. Thanks in advance and thank you for sharing this method. I've watched every YT video on Mortice and Tenon joints and this seems by far the easiest and most readily repeatable method. Well done.
/Dave
Love your videos. You need to get the boss (your wife) in one of the videos too!
Hi Ron, I’ll do that!
thanks for sharing your video
Thanks Jim.
a family who glues together, stays together... 😛😛😛
How cool is that? Thanks for sharing ☺
Thanks for watching!
Great job, nice video.
Thank you.
Great video James.
Who makes the spiral upcut bit that you used and where are they sold? I have had zero luck finding any.
Well that's easier than I've been doing it...gonna have to build another jig now!
Thank you.
I’m about to make a harmonica door with slats. 4 doors with in total 192 mortise and tenon joints. But I’m contemplating if I’m no going to use biscuits… it is easier and it will not get much load to bear
WOW - suuuuuper👍✌️👍✌️
Lignum vita grows in South Florida and the Keys...
James. Would there be any way that you could build a pool cue rack with a window door and two drawers in the bottom. Make it like a cabinet style cue rack.I watch your show all the time and think it is the top #1 informative wood working show on You Tube. Thank you .
Hi Richard. I could certainly do that. If somebody orders something similar I will be sure to make a video of it. I still do custom orders pretty regularly. Thank you very much for watching. You are very kind.
What bearing/bit was used in this video? I didn't see a link for it in the description.
I love your straightforward style and seeing the 'kids' helping/learning in your shop! I have not seen double squares before. Do you have a favorite brand of those? I'd love to support you through Amazon affiliate but couldn't find the brand in your list of tools.
I love your videos!!! What I'd love to know is this! For most woodworking applications do you need to use quarter sawn lumber or is plain sawn just fine, even for table tops? The lumber mills in Nashville near me only have imported flat sawn lumber. Your help on this would be greatly appreciated! Keep up the quality videos!!!
Perfeito!!! Parabéns.
This is quite solid.
IMHO though, the mortise and tenon should always be squared. The reason I say this is because the entire purpose for utilizing a mortise and tenon is for longevity and quality. The square corners add strength and over time will hold tighter with less play or wiggle.
Even so, this definitely improves the mortise making, even if you decide to cut out square corners.
Just my two cents, but it almost resembles a large domino joint. Which to my understanding is quite strong. So maybe it will do ok?
Thanks for the video! Do you think this method is good for through tenon as well? Thx, Ken
thank you!
You are very welcome.
but how you cut that square perfectly in plywood is a good question. got get that right first
Would it make sense to use a rounding router bit to round the mortise? Also, could a router be used to completely do the tenon?
You strike me as a guy that orders extra mayo on a hot n spicy from McDonalds with the way you use wood glue 😀
Hey i wonder could you somehow use the jig and router to round-over the tenon so it fits perfectly to the mortise? Great vid, btw. Thanks very much!
james, could you maybe explain to me wich one you prefer and why: Combination square or Double Square? Is there a difference in angle precision between the two?
Would be great to get links to the tools used in this video.
will that set up work on timber framed post beams rounded or do they need to be squared off for the pegs to hold better? im wanting to build a timber frame house and out of all the videos i have watched your way seems much faster
Nice u have all u famili with u
Thanks for watching.
i need those small adjustable square ruler, i cannot find on china online store, would you guys suggest if ya know
I'm a hobbyist so I don't need any of the super time savings tips, but I've wondered how "economical" (in time, or money), floating tenons would be, with rounded edges that correspond to rounded router-based mortises done in both pieces.
Is that the photo bomber. Looks bright yellow ;)
Two blondes. What alternate universe am I in? No photo bomb? Must have a pc virus. Going to reboot and rewatch. Nice work, brother.
Haha! My daughter Sai, the photobomber, was in there but you just saw her arms.
@@KingsFineWoodworking Love your videos and the family involvement. If I were closer, I'd come apprentice for you on the weekends. Great channel. Keep it up.
