Mortise &Wedged Haft, and SodiumSilicated my Mallet build.
I would be interested in seeing what that book shows about pegs and dowel joints. A bit brace is a very early tool and I’m sure there are some cool, well established techniques in there. While it’s often not the best choice, I enjoy running my drill press and will often use dowels on my projects just for the fun factor.
Cool video! 👍
wow! cool! thx!
"I can’t think of a practical application where I’d use this…"
Perhaps the reason these techniques have been forgotten is because they aren’t used much nowadays 😉
Love the dowl markers, where did you get those?
Nice work there… very interesting bit of historical woodworking!
Many thanks for bring that book to my (our) attention. I have ordered a copy.
Ah, I believe the fox tenon is still widely used today – Although I never knew it by that name.
…smacking your lips is highly distasteful. And ya do it a lot

Basically there is a reason they are forgotten…

you have a great skills, your shop looks very organized.
4:30 judging by how hard those last few hammer strokes were the pairing might need more work to avoid a long split out. Next joint have you tried a splined miter with a flat toothed saw for the spline recess. Third joint I’ve seen this used in making mallets & other tools where you don’t want it to be able to separate. You have a better chance of getting that to seat by 1. no relief cut & 2 a slight over cut in the mortise. The big issue with those blind tenons is splitting out. If you drill a small hole at the seat of the wedge cuts it keep this from splitting out as easily.
2:11 have you seen that in wharf pile splice connections?
You certainly know what you are doing, sir! Great vid!
Great video; editing great, fast forward on exhausting tasks and ability to see what was happening was great, keeping my intrest was great! I subscribed, although I usually just get what I need and go. Lots of knowledge in short, entertaining, quality video. Thanks!
some of them are japanese. but even today the tradition preserving Japanese forget that.
How Hi I’m in the UK, I know that book, can reccomend English Historic Carpentry book too. Had to repair a 1930’s railway carriage frame in Ash, used a 13th cent joint as it was the best for the job, you planning on doing anymore vids? Cheers from here.
11:57 to prevent cracking drill a relief "where the wedges bottom out in the tenon"
I see a lot of wedged tenons in my old house, on the original doors. I dont know if they made them this way when building the house or if it’s a fix for when the tenon gets too dry and loosens after 100+ years. They are all through-joints though, none are "hidden"
I’ve came across a joint or two I’ve never seen in any book , but was hoping that you were going to give us something we have never seen , but it’s all been done before you can bet on that ! Much respect for old guy’s that did it right , and for you power tools guy’s I bet they could have scared you with a hand tool people don’t realize how effective you can be with the right tool that doesn’t have a plug or a battery ..

What a stroke of luck you posted that. The first joint is exactly what I’d been looking for but I’m. I carpenter. Have to join two posts so this USC perfect, thanks
Paul Hasluck’s book found on Ebay for £2.58 delivered – about five of your antipodean dollars. Very pleased!
Purple Heartwood DESERVES better.
Simple VGroove cut casework.
Neat video thanks for sharing
you have to drill a hole at the bottom of the cut where the wedges go the same as a through mortise and tenon or a wedged mortise and tenon or s tusked mortise and tenon you have to drill A hole or it will split everytime no matter what
Give ur book
Great video man. It’s great to see this old joinery practiced.
It’s called a hidden dovetail joint issues in cabinet makers what you do not want to see the dub tails on a big cabinet side. All the joints have shown at been around a long time that use the first one of the scalp a joint it makes stocks longer. We now use single joints to do the same job by machine
Nice one mate
Forging the path and highlighting the problems so we all don’t have to…thank you, sir! Some of these joints are more novel than practical, but they’re still cool. Imagine making them in an age with no power tools. That first joint would be nice as a way to highlight two contrasting woods – more for show than practicality, but it certainly looks strong enough. Thanks again!
If you want to SHOW us someting, you want us to SEE what you are doing. So why the elevated speed playback?
Regarding the mortice and tenon joint ‘ if you drill a hole at the bottom of the notches for the wedges it should stop any splitting..
The first joint is usec to replace the bottoms of posts that were removed because of rot.
Not forgotten? Just not used anymore, and other than ornamental or educational purposes they are outmoded, as your experience shows they are not suited to power tools.good book to have if you are restoring something over 100years old.
The first joint could have been done with two rip cuts along the two half lines on each piece.
Is that a New Zealand accent I’m hearing? This is the first of your videos I’ve come across lol.
The mortise & tendon with wedges works better with wider wedges and a wedge for every relief cut. Best if no relief is cut and the wedges are metal, like angled iron or steel bits. Thicker is better, and more wedges is also better.
Yours failed because the wedges were too thin and the relief in the center was empty. So the small wedges used only pushed that relief tighter.
Nice vid, would like to see more
Why would you want to hide a dovetail joint? Show it off!!!
Work on those uh’s and ah’s
Hey, good stuff. That first joint is a good one to keep in the file. I can see using it at some point. Also, props for the production/editing. Good flow to the vid.
Cool , old school technology
My EMPLOYER OF THE YEAR award goes to a Mentor whom taught me …
a simple ballpoint pen is the perfect woodworking tool.
Joinery is not forgotten, not needed anymore. We have titanium coated screws that hold 1000 pounds.
