How to Cut Perfect Mortise and Tenons Quick and Easy

I get a great many emails asking me what is the best way to cut mortise and tenon joinery. I don’t think there is any best way, but I made this video to show you a quick and easy way using a router and a table saw sled to make perfect mortice and tenon joints.

Here is a link to see how to build my table saw sled:

wow the shaving of the tenon instead of chiseling the mortise tip is awesome for quick jobs

You know I just wanna stop and say how generous it is of you and your time to show people like me how to create A mortise and tenon you were able to simplify it to a digestible process . I discovered your channel maybe a year ago and I’ve been very impressed with not only your generosity of information and giving of your time not to mention the friendly way you deliver it I appreciate what you do for this community that I am hopefully becoming part of

Wow. I've been looking around on YouTube for something like this and it has exceeded my expectations for help cutting mortises in 3x3 legs for a table I'm building. You should do wood shows (if you don't already). You get right to the point will clear and concise instructions.

James I just stumbled upon this most helpful video this morning. You've opened the door that just solved a major challenge for me. Now I know just how to make a triangular mortise and the mated tenon. Thank you ever so much.
