	Making a Mortise and Tenon Joint
		Mortise and tenon joinery has been used for everything from ships to elaborate Victorian furniture.
		The joint is extremely strong, owing to the large mating area between the tenon and mortise.
		The mortise can be cut in the face, end or edge of the second work piece, depending on the exact application for the joint.

	Mortise and tenon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Simple and strong, the mortise and tenon joint (also called the mortice and tenon) has been used for millennia by woodworkers around the world to join two pieces of wood, most often at an angle close to 90°.
		A tenon is a projection on the end of a timber for insertion into a mortise.
		Teasel tenon - a term used for the tenon on top of a jowled or gunstock post, which is typically received by the mortise in the underside of a tie beam.

		The space for the wedge initially allows room for the tenon to be inserted, the presence of the wedge, after the tennon has been engaged, prevents its withdrawal.

	UKWorkshop - Mortise & Tenon Joint (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The mortise and tenon is a very traditional joint and is popular due to its strength.
		Lay the mortise piece ('B') on your bench so it's face edge is facing the ceiling and then rest piece 'A' across it at the location where you want the mortise to be.
		The mortise should be one-third of the thickness of the tenon piece ('A') but is normally rounded up to your nearest chisel size.

	Drawbored Mortise & Tenon
		The draw pin is deformed as it attempts to align the strategiacally offset holes in the stile's mortice and the rail's tenon.
		The draw bored mortise and tenon and the joined frame and panel are constructed to avoid wood's dimensional changes during its initial descent to ambient moisture content and thereafter throughout its useful life.
		The mortising chisel is held perpendicular to the bench surface not to the stile's unfair inside face.

	RoundMortise
		Round mortise and tenon joints may be quickly and easily constructed and are well-suited for the fabrication of standardized parts that can be incorporated into modular constructions.
		Tenons are efficient load carriers and are highly resistant to cyclic loading in bending.
		The bending strength of round mortise and tenon joints is limited by the strength of the tenons themselves.

	Mortise and Tenon
		Mortise and tenon is one of the oldest methods for joining wood at right angles.
		On wide rectangular tenons, the glue usually holds, and the tenon's wood fibers are compressed as the wood expands.
		The standard rule for mortise and tenon layout is to make the tenon and each side of the mortise 1/3 of the total joint thickness.

	Mortise and Tenon - Guide to building a timber frame home
		A 2" tenon run the full 12" width of the post, and the10" long teasel tenon is centered lengthwise is also 2" wide.
		Test fitting tenons in mortises is always a good idea, especially if they're as long and deep as the 19" long, 4" deep tenon on our arch brace.
		Since this would have the effect of pushing the tenon out of the mortise, the mortises are cut extra deep to compensate for the shrinkage.

	Mortise and Tenon Basic Joinery Using a Dedicated Mortiser and Tenoning Jig
		Typically, a strong mortise and tenon joint comes from having a tenon that fits into a mortise that is one third the thickness of the material being used.
		My mortiser is a Delta MM-300 which came with 4 chisels and since I'm using 3/4" material we're going to make a mortise and tenon joint using my smallest chisel which happens to be a 1/4" chisel.
		If you're making a mortise and tenon joint that will have shoulders on all four sides of the tenon like this example, once you have your marking gauge set for the proper thickness the layout is very easy because the marking gauge setting remains the same for all marks.

		After cutting the mortise in the stile or post, position the rail in relation to it and transfer the layout marks and measurements for the tenon onto the stock.

	Mortise and tenon timber joints (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		A mortise and tenon joint consists, in simple terms, of a 'tongue', (the tenon) that slots into a hole (the mortise) cut in the mating piece of timber.
		To secure with wedges, the ends of the mortise should be cut so that the bottom of the hole is longer than the top, then the end of the tenon will be expanded by the wedges to lock the two pieces together.
		This is similar to the basic through tenon, but has a shoulder (haunch) cut on the top of the tenon - and a matching recess cut in the upper end of the mortise.

	Real-life mortise and tenon dimensions - Woodworking.com
		Tenon thickness should be 1/3 the thickness of the stock being mortised to ensure the stock being mortised doesn't weaken.
		For a blind mortise, the mortise depth should be 2/3 the width of the board being mortised.
		Since most mortise and tenon joints are used in cross grain situations, the movement of wood due to moisture changes needs to be addressed.

	Marking out and cutting basic mortise and tenon joints (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		A tenon needs to be a snug fit into the mortise, too tight and it may split the timber around the mortise, too loose and the joint will be weak.
		On the face edge (the side which will butt up against the tenon rail) of the mortise rail, mark the length of the mortise, this will usually be the same as the width of the piece of timber in which the tenon is to be cut.
		With the tenon, mark the length of the tenon around the four sides and scribe the thickness of the tenon on the sides and end.

		There are a great many ways to cut mortise and tenon joints, however here we will focus on methods for cutting the joints required to make the Oriental Box.
		Note that on the bottom rails, the edge of the mortise is 1/8" away from the inside edge of the post.
		The stop guarantees that the mortises will all be correctly aligned, and reduces to one the number of parts you have to mark out.

	Mortise and Tenon Machine
		Now, high quality mortise and tenon joints are both fast and easy, even for totally custom sizes.
		The difficulty with mortise and tenon joints is that the mortise and the tenon must be cut separately but must fit together precisely.
		The same tool is used to cut both the mortise and the tenon and the intelligent control compensates for the actual diameter of the tool in cutting both, producing extremely precision joints, every time.

	WoodCentral's BP Archives: Drawboring Mortise and Tenon Joints
		A drawbore is a tenon pinned from the side; but instead of assembling and driiling straight thru the joint, you offset the holes a teeny bit, like 3/64 inch.
		If after, have on hand a bunch of over-long fake tenons milled out of scrap to stick in the mortise before drilling/chopping the peg hole.
		When you pound the peg, you are pulling the tenon in by pulling on the side of the hole toward the end of the tenon.

		The mortise and tenon joint provides a large glue surface and great mechanical strength - without question the strongest and most durable method of joining rails and stiles.
		Today there are reliable glues, but earlier users of mortise and tenon joints had to rely on just the tight fit or various methods of using edges and pegs to keep the joints tight, either alone or to reinforce the inadequate glue that had to be used.
		The mortise is a square or rectangular hole cut into the leg or rail that the part with the tenon is to attach to.
