Nice job. a good tip for someone less experienced than yourself when cutting tennons with a circular saw like that cut the shoulder first then cut back towards it . very easy to cut beyond the line .
Using power tools you just make them joints look so easy, I remember having to mortise & tenon, dovetail and another one for my O level woodwork back in the 80's and struggling with a tenon saw and a chisel to take just the right amount off to leave a good tight fit.
Hi there🖐I also remember cutting a dovetail joint for my O level woodwork exam back in 1986😵💫 The only subject I got an A in👍Thanks for your comment 🤩 Cheers Del
Hi Tony. You're right about the router, its a real beast. As carpenters we spend a lot of our time working with fairly mundane timber and board material, so its always a treat to work with something a bit different. Thanks for your comment. Cheers.👌
I used to work on a period restoration company , oak framing . They were well into keeping stuff to period . Apparently the pegs were cut off leaving about one and a half inches protruding , this was as the oak shrunk and the joints became slack over the years , the pegs had enough length to be knocked home again . Not most customers cup of tea ,and we often had to cut them back to keep the client happy . Mind you it was a great thing to hang your coat on 😁 Also on complete oak house framez , eg traditional bay leaf , we wound have a short 'Trial' pair of a mortice and a tenon , these could be used to check joints without having to keep lift up the whole heavy lengths , although everything would be dry fitted with metal dowels , which could be more easily knocked out again , for disassembly and transporting. , sorry im babbling again Del , must be my age , brilliant job you done there , top work mate 😃👍👍👍👍
Hi Raymond. Yes I was aware of leaving the pegs long as I was lucky enough build a really big Oak framed job a few years ago alongside this amazing oak working carpenter from the west country. Doing restoration work takes a particular type of tradesman with imagination and patience and can be very satisfying.🤩 Thanks for another great comment and for watching.😎
Hi it must be warmer than my place !! keep the videos coming great presentation, now that's a craftsman at work. Nice to see the subscriptions climbing
Great watch as always T.C. Keep up the great work, P.S. it was great to see you at the trade show with mark tiff and build with AE guy all people that I follow on TH-cam 🔧🔧👍👍
Very good instructional video! Do this sort of thing myself (even have the exact same Makita 3612 router!! ...what a workhorse they are 👍) I love this sort of work, keep meaning to do a video exactly like this one day...now I don’t need to! Just finished a porch project myself using this EXACT method! One little tip I learned from an expert Carpenter when I was a mere slip of a lad..(this is aimed at anyone watching this video who wants to complete a similar project and by no means aimed at The Tall Carpenter who clearly doesn’t need any tips from me..👍) When the tenon is cut, at the edges where it abuts the cross member I normally just “crack the harrris’” with a block plane. This creates a slight “shadow line” which means when the Oak shrinks (and it will..) the gap that’s left somehow doesn’t seem quite so obvious (which seems counterintuitive really cos essentially you’re giving the impression that there’s a gap there already??! But it works..) Great video...love the instructional videos on framing roofs etc as well! 👍 Thanks
Hi Mark. Great to have you watching mate and thanks for adding your great comment. All little extra tips and hints are always welcome, and I'm very lucky to have some great carpenters watching and contributing as you have. 😎 Cheers.
Hi David. I actually don't do these kind of jobs that often, and when I do, they are usually more for show, so tend not to have the knee braces fitted.😬 But, sure, if I do one with knee braces I will make a video.😎 Thanks for your comment and for watching.👍
Hi David. Its more the plunge depth of the router, than the length of the cutter, although I don't know how long a cutter bit you can get.🤔 I just kinda worked with what I had.😎 Cheers.

Exactly what I was looking for, no need for a drill guide. Thanks for such a helpful video.
Hi Shrimps. That's great that it helped.🤩 Thanks for your comment.👍

Great point Brian. Easily move in past your shoulder line when you're on a roll.👍 Cheers.

Video with a bit of sunshine in it Vic. Made me feel better just putting it together. Thanks for watching. 😎
Great video
Thanks Robin. Can't wait for sunshine and shorts time again. Thanks for your comment. 🤟

Hi Brian🖐Thanks for your comment bud🤩and yes, I'm lucky to be part of a little TH-cam community with some great guys in it👌Cheers
Like a glove , great workmanship as always 👍🏻
Cheers John.👍
Lovely job. Nice wiggle when fitting the mortice.
Hi Jeff. To be honest, its looks a bit dodgy.😬 (like I'm loving the oak a little too much).😝 Cheers.

Very nice Del. 😉
I must have missed this video first time around. 🙃
That is an OLD video bud🧐Cheers fella👊
@@thetallcarpenter I know it’s a older one, it came up in black and white… 😂.
👊🏻🔨
@Ultimate-roofing-square. I had more hair as well Dan😆
@@thetallcarpenter the good lord gave some people perfect heads, the others he gave them hair.
☺️.

Awesome job. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for GC😎Cheers Del
Hi, loved watching video, i would love to see you do an angled tenon joint for a knee brace. I admire your work
Thankyou
Hi David. I actually don't do these kind of jobs that often, and when I do, they are usually more for show, so tend not to have the knee braces fitted.😬 But, sure, if I do one with knee braces I will make a video.😎 Thanks for your comment and for watching.👍
Another great video. Nice twerk at the end!
Hi Doodes🖐It actually looked a bit dodgey if I'm honest😲😅Thanks for watching 😎 Cheers Del
Hi, can't you get a router bit that's long enough to cut the full depth o the mortise ?
Thanks
Hi David. Its more the plunge depth of the router, than the length of the cutter, although I don't know how long a cutter bit you can get.🤔 I just kinda worked with what I had.😎 Cheers.
Very nice 👍🏻
Hi Tony. Its great to do something a bit different every now and again. Thanks for you comment. 😎 Cheers.
What is the length and width of the tenon?
Hi Michael🖐From memory, the tenon was 50mm thick, 90mm long and 150mm wide. (the full width of the oak)👊Cheers Del
NOOICE!
👊😎
The shadow was not noticeable for me 😊
Cheers George🤗Thanks for watching 😎
