Paul, thank you for posting. Next time I will have to use a chisel to establish the tenon shoulder. I like how you clean out the mortice as the tenon was installed. And using a smaller chisel to clean out the mortise as not to damage the walls is another great tip.

Very interesting!

I really appreciated watching this; you were quicker with your handtools than I am using powertools and your results are superior.

Great video, as always! Thanks for the pointers.

Awesome video. Thanks for the tips!

No Mortising Chisel, no Rebate plane, I always love your simple aproach to things Paul.

SPECTACULAR Paul! Please consider doing more. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and time.

Thanks for the video, I’ll have to try using a chisel to split the cheeks off the tenon.

The way you show it Paul, makes it quite clear that It’s not about the tools, but rather about having a feel for what one does and can do with the wood.

So simple, so quick and absolutely lovely.

Thanks for all the wonderful videos, Paul. You make a person almost believe that one day, they too will be able to do what you do (you make it so clear that even I can understand what you are doing LOL).

It’s great to watch you work. I love the way to trimmed down the side of the mortise with the plane. I could see that being a very effective time saver on certain constructions. The trick of using a smaller chisel for waste cleanup is helpful. I found myself using a long thin paint scraper on a project recently to force chips to the other side of several DEEP through joints, worked well.

I still like a good mortise chisel though, but I think that more personal preference than anything else. It’s always amazing to me to see what you (or anyone really) can do with a few simple tools and some know-how.

Thanks again for posting this, I picked up quite a bit.
