If my side rail is 4 1/2 inches wide is it really necessary to make a haunched tenon. My last table I just used a 1/4 inch shoulder on the top and bottom.
throughout your lifetime and into successive generations, ask how the joints are done. Beeken/Parsons specifies mortise and tenon joints that allow between .001 and .002 of an inch between the faces of the joint. This determines how the wood fibers fuse
stability and easy painting, Beyond the Screen Door storm and screen doors are constructed using strong, stable mortise and tenon joinery. All adhesives are two component and are water resistant to withstand weather conditions. Decorative corner brackets
setting, mark outside shoulder of the tenon on at least one rail -reset marking top) divider Fit tenons -line tenon up with mortise and mark haunches, then chamfer ends of tenons - test fit, if tenon fits and shoulder closes, move on

Tommy, Well Ken and I started our mortise today, The chisel work is only clean up of the last 1/32", use a mortiser to do the heavy work. Will cut the tenon later tonight. Chuck
Very cool........I'm excited to see a few of these in walnut also. Hey Smitty, I was going to clip the tenon bottom also, reference off the top. I think I better go read the procedure sheet and stay on the North Bennett side of the
