A nice simple explanation of a very easy mortise and tenon joint. Happily the glue is as strong as the wood 👍

An open mortise on the top of the wood with a through tenon is called a bridal joint. A through tenon is made with a rail or stretcher's tenon going all the way through the style or leg, in the middle and is usually wedged.

I use this on personal projects and my website products as well

Great idea. But how do you join the front and back parts of the bench, that run perpendicular to the ends? Do you create traditional square cut mortise and tenons?

Hi Wes, in a video you asked to put in comment some idea of thing that you could build. I would love to see how to create beehouses. I have bees in my garden, I am à beginner, but I would like to build by myslef 2 or 3 beehouses but it looks to be not an easy game. Thanks for your videos that I see today for the first time, I like the way you explain then it doesn't look that difficult🙂

What about making the other parts that slip in?

[chrisnash]

What’s with all the clamps if you went to so much trouble with the deck screws? Aren’t those adequate?

[johngcp]

Does this technique have a name? I'm new, so I've never seen it before, but it looks like a great way to join things for a newbie.

[edmundhayes]

Would you ever use pegs or dowels in place of screws?

[jimrodman]

Hey Wes do you have a measured drawing of that bench you would share

[jenniferwhite]
