      Is 1/16" really enough "hinge" to leave down there? I know you want it easy to bend, but that sounds so thin!

    • @lewiscarroll4290
      @lewiscarroll4290 2 года назад

      @@jbtechcon7434 I'm wondering this too. I guess making the wedges slightly larger than the gaps means even if those tiny hinges do break, there's so much friction (and glue) between all the pieces that the main part of the tenon won't slide out - the large piece in the middle would have to break to get it to come out.

    • @jbtechcon7434
      @jbtechcon7434 2 года назад

      @@lewiscarroll4290 Yeah, the glue is there, but the friction will be reduced. If those hinges break, your tenon now has SLOPED sides! I know the slight compression from pushing wedges in adds something, but it can't be enough to make up for a sloped tenon. I think you'd be better off putting in a normal tenon and driving a hard dowel through it sideways.

    I've only just found the Stumpy Nubs channel, and I'm brand new to woodwork. This is by far one of the most accessible, explanatory and educational carpentry channels on the web. I love the care that's taken to explain EVERYTHING - not just how to, but why, what to watch out for, and other techniques. My interest is in creating furniture for Bonsai, so mostly outdoors, but this is now my go to channel for woodwork. The only downside I've found is that I have zero room (or budget) for machining/'milling tools (for the most part, I'm restricted to hand tools) and my only source of affordable wood is recycled (ie pallets) . But the channel is so rich with useful information I have actually found myself inventing projects to practice what is being taught. Thanks Stumpy Nubs. This is a brilliant channel

    Very nice and complete explanation. I'm not an accomplished woodworker by any stretch, but seeing this joint explained from A to Z in a concise and clear way makes it far easier to attempt it myself. Thanks for a great video :)

    I also wanted you to know that there is a medical procedure available now that will lessen, if not completely, make your essential tremors go away. A neighbor of mine had it done and she is 80. She no longer has them!

    I recently built a router table to clamp into my vice. Then I needed a rack to hang it on and two wedged mortise and tenon joints allowed me to make it using what I had lying around. Even in pine, it's impressively overengineered.

    I don't have the luxury of space or money for electric tools, where I live currently. So I'm learning how we used to do the work one hundred or two hundred years ago. All done by hand saws; hand planes, Japanese kanna, Stanley #45 combo. plane; chisels, etc. It's very time consuming, but it is rewarding. The biggest problem I have is getting straight drill holes, I've rigged jigs of all sorts, but I still haven't quite figured out the right system for that.

    Hi All! I also have essential tremor. I suffered for years until a doc saw fit to prescribe Propranolol, which works for my high blood pressure too. As long as I remember to take it, it is extremely effective in reducing my tremor. It's like night and day! Love your videos! I had given up on learning how to cut mortise and tenons, but after this video, will break out my Forster bits, and try those! Thanks!

    Thank you so much for sharing the info on the tremors. I have that same thing and some days are worse than others. I have to explain the same. But I've never known anyone else with essential tremors other than me, so again thank you for sharing that. I just recently have gotten into wood working and your videos are my go to, to learn what I need to know next.

  • @danasmith8950
    @danasmith8950 2 года назад

    You’re right about it being a good looking accent. In fact, Woodsmith published plans for a bed that called for inlays to mimic that look. It was in the early 90’s and i had neither the skills nor the time to do an actual wedged tenon so it looked pretty appealing to me. The bed has stood the test of time but now I would definitely do the real thing. And I bet it would take me no longer to make than the fake inlays.

    I really like how you don't let slight issues like the essential tremour get in the way of your work, some people might have decided working with their hands wasn't for them because of slight inconviences like that.

    Awesome. I think you could make a more accurate guide for the chisel by adding a small block of wood with the proper angle to the side of the jig with the angle line on it. Having a hard time verbalizing what I mean.

    I've got essential tremors too and have always been impressed by how it doesn't affect your work quality. I don't find mine too hard to deal with usually, but I also don't have the extreme skill and deftness that you demonstrate on a regular basis.
    I also get questions about why I'm shaky. It gets old. I'm glad you explained it and moved on. I can only imagine the frequency with which you get asked.
    Thanks for sharing another great very well explained video.

    This is a really great example of how friction, which is often considered a temporary or low strength holding method (like clamping or weighing something down), can actually be used in an extremely permanent way. The harder you pull, the more those wedges are forced together, until you really would need to break the whole tenon to pull it out. The angles are such that it's "self locking" - which is a really important engineering principle. It's the entire reason why nuts and bolts work at all.
    If the bolt thread had a steeper angle, The nut would just unscrew itself when the parts were pulled apart. But there's a critical angle where enough of the force pulling the parts apart goes into mashing the nut and bolt together that any additional force just makes it harder to unscrew, and the bolt breaks before the nut unscrews.
    This joint basically does the same thing. It could be interesting to make one of these, but going into a very shallow piece of wood with far too wide of a flare. You would find that there is some angle where the "wings" just push the wedges out, and the tenon can't be locked in at all.
    Another cool use is the tapers on machinery where concentricity is critical. You just jam the taper in and tighten the drawbar, and now even with the drawbar loosened you have to whack it with a hammer to get it back out.
    Friction is cool

    This is an incredible video -- not only is it information dense, but the information is arranged in such a way that each new point builds on the ones before it. There's no gaps, or leaps in logic or procedure. It flows well from one point to the next with clear examples. Not only that, but there's also a discussion of the problem before the solution is explained, so the viewer has a clear idea of what's going on and why these steps are being taken. A real feat of demonstration. I don't do any work with wood, but after watching this, I think I understand how to do this very well.
