Friends:

We're up to Part 12 in our build-along series. It's time to practice tenons. Next time, we'll do the full layout on our piece and get ready for the final joinery.

See you next week!

Have I misunderstood what surfaces are reference surfaces? It seems to me that you said to not use a non reference surface and then immediately used one.

Gerald Eddy

More great advice! I always saw my tenons straight across the top… this seems far more of an accurate approach! I also need to work on the saw line as mine are never as tight as I would like!

Now I'm tempted to redo the more problematic pieces in my cabinet that I'm already putting finish on. I'm not going to, because those are through tenons in castle joints, and it would be a pain in the butt! Nevertheless, very helpful video that really helps clear up some stuff in my mind about how to do it the cleanest/easiest way.

Great tips as usual.

No, Lars, you did not misunderstand. Rex merely proved his humanity.
