Stick486 Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Tip: you'll find that the wedge is the same size/taper as the ''space'' at the edges of of the tenon and the side of the mortise... Make your wedge from a piece of cedar shake/shims... fast, simple and most of the computation work is already done... also, kant the lead edges of the slots w. a file/rasp.. the wedge will slide in so much easier...

You wouldn't want to take have to that joint apart. There is no non destructive way to do it. How would you know this was the type of Mortise and Tenon joint has been used for thousands of years by woodworkers around the world to join pieces of wood, mainly when the adjoining pieces connect at an angle of 90°. In its basic form it is both simple and strong. Although there are many joint variations, the basic mortise and tenon comprises two components: the mortise hole and the tenon tongue. The tenon, formed on the end of a member generally referred to as a rail, is inserted into a square or rectangular hole cut into the corresponding member. The tenon is cut to fit the mortise hole exactly and usually has shoulders that seat when the joint fully enters the mortise hole. The joint may be glued, pinned, or wedged to lock it in place">M&T this piece had until you were already "committed"? I am guessing that this joint does not get a dry fit (with wedges) before assembly... p_toad, HARO50, Gene Howe and 1 other 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when you go to force it to re-glue the joint SURPRISE~!!! you gotta make new parts. Cal, p_toad and Dadio 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
