    Great video. Sometimes I think people forget that mortice & tenon joinery has been around much longer than the power tools that are widely used to make them - they used to all be cut by hand. Your method here is a perfect blend of personal power tools and hand tools.

    • @Swarm509
      @Swarm509 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The fun part is one could even go as far as to use hand tools (bit and brace) to do this same thing if they wanted. I actually may do that for some through-tenons I need to do for my current workbench build as I have to go through 3" of wood, and doing that with a chisel seems like it may take a while. Probably do one with and without drilling TBH.

    Back in the late 70's I was an apprentice working on restorations in very old (centuries) churches here in the UK. We would splice in new oak beams and recut massive mortises and tenons often working at great height in very awkward conditions. Even with power tools, scaffolding, lighting and heating it was a hell of a challenge. It brought home to me just how hard those guys back in the medieval period worked. I'm not at all religious but church construction has always fascinated me.

    Great channel! Great content. I build traditional Square rule timberframe buildings. One thing I never see on TH-cam 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.

      @JH-lo9ut ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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

    • @chrisengland5523
      @chrisengland5523 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@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.

    • @SmallSpoonBrigade
      @SmallSpoonBrigade หลายเดือนก่อน

      You can, it's kind of a neat trick, but if you've got those perpendicular lines perpendicular to the faces, then you can just draw a couple lines between the opposite corners and where they cross is your center.

    I use a small bubble level on the end of my drill to help with maintaining vertical alignment. It's worked very well. Just super glue it and you're good to go.

    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.

      There are some adapters that make hand drills like a portable mini drilll press too. Not too hard to make (out of wood or even out of hardware store stuff, depending on how ingeneous you feel, plenty of YT tutorials), and honestly it is really handy in both senses.

    I learnt that technique back in High School here in Australia back in the late 1960's, early 1970's. It is so much easier to enlarge a basic hole than create the hole with the chisel.

    I'm terrible at holding a drill straight. I use two-sided tape to attach a little round bubble level to the back of my drill when I need to make fairly precise holes.

    For those of us who are less adroit, there are hand drills with levels built in. My old corded DeWalt has one, and it's great for drilling a plumb hold spot on.
