Hi Peter! Your videos are just so good ! Was wandering if you have any experience with those Japanese Star-m bits ( or their American line of wood owl bits) ? Thank You!
Ive always been taught to put the line of grain in the leg 90 degrees to the grain of what it is going into. Thats a unique idea putting it in line with the grain of the seat. If you wedge the leg, wont it tend to split tje seat?
Seth, the orientation of the wedge is always in relationship to the seat, the rotation of the leg can change depending on the chair, but the wedge should always push against the endgrain of the mortise so the seat doesn't crack. I think that you might believe that the orientation of the wedge and leg must somehow align, which I don't believe to be the case.
Such a great instruction video. Thanks.

"Woodworking is inherently dangerous and should never be practiced under any conditions." WTF?
I believe that was a facetious remark
read the next sentence and it makes sense.
