  • In this video, I show you how to precisely mark out, cut, and fine tune a cross halving joint to get a seamless fit between the two components.
    This video gives you an overview of the importance of face sides and edges, different approaches to cutting out the joint, different methods of cleaning it up at the end and troubleshooting the final fit.

    So glad someone who knows what they are talking about is out there showing the meticulous way to do basic joinery. So often we run across these kinds of videos and someone just says "this is easy, watch how quick and easy I do this" and they get it done but it's obviously top quality. Thanks for doing these.

  • @anthonyboudreaux3675
    @anthonyboudreaux3675 6 лет назад +6

    Just a suggestion but japanese joinery uses a round head hammer and lightly tap the joint area to aid in assembly then rehydrate the wood to return it to its proper size. Almost doesn't need glue. I love using that technique if my joint is a little tight. But as always a great video thanks for sharing.

    • @imover9999

      That's a wonderful tip. I'm absolutely going to try this today or tomorrow when I get around to doing more joinery practice. Thanks for that.

    Just popping through your videos and saw this one, which was similar to what I did last night. Thanks to your enthusiasm, you’ve encouraged me to start a City & Guilds class in Carpentry and Joinery (with a view to do Bench Joinery). It’s a lot harder than you make it look! Thanks for all your great videos, Matt... you have a wealth of knowledge and great presentation skills.

    Nice video, lots of useful and helpful information. What is the best way to go about getting workworking (vs building) tools? I am a carpenter and I thought I would get more exposure to some of this, but sort of realizing building trade and tools are totally different. For example, I can't recall seeing marking gauges at the big box stores nor dovetail saws, but pull saw would work as well, right?

  • @DRJMF1
    @DRJMF1 4 года назад

    Great video. Can a sliding mitre saw be used to cut out the same mortise ? You can set a depth gauge on these saws to limit the cross cut depth, just make a series of close parallel cross cuts and then hammer the remaining wood strips to get to a trench. Base of trench must be flat, thus saw arm must be stable. What do you say ? Super sharp Diablo blade needed too. Hitachi 12 inch.Sliding saw ?

    Probably my favourite joint mate but on my mitre Saw, I know that that goes against the grain of hand tool Woodworkers however it’s maximised surface space for Glue up 👍👍👍

  • @awinbisa
    @awinbisa Год назад

    Thanks for this. What about risk of expansion of the wood across its width? The joint constrains the wood - could it cause stresses and cracking?

  • @breadman5048

  • @rorybland6756
    @rorybland6756 6 лет назад

    I have always tried to use a machine to aid joint cutting in most circumstances but your videos have kind of made me realise for a couple of one off joints it’s less messing about just to hit the hand tools , and way more satisfying! Thanks!

  • @backinmotionchiropracticsp125
    @backinmotionchiropracticsp125 6 лет назад +2

    Just curious - Why not use the square to mark both cut lines?

    • @MattEstlea
      @MattEstlea  6 лет назад +9

      Just in case the wood you are marking around is ever so slightly out of parallel. Sorry forgot to mention that in the video!

    • @kevindorka6328
      @kevindorka6328 6 лет назад

      would it make the cutline move in a tiny bit to make it too tight in the end? referencing from the square on one side gave the amount of wood remaining to enable the compression fit right?

  • @noway5096

  • @martenveldthuis
    @martenveldthuis 6 лет назад

    Of course, through the magic of non-linear editing it's also very easy to film whacking the joint together, film whacking it apart again, then whack it together with glue and film the closeup. Not that I don't believe you, just that I don't understand what your point about whacking it apart was ;)
