    Any gent that keeps a Bailey patent block plane , rolling mark gauge and a chisel in his kit has my respect . Those extraordinary old structures didn't survive this long by accident , it was skilled craftsman and time honored joinery that endured. Good show Robin . Bravo

    Robin,
    As a cabinetmaker of 40 + years, I’ve gained a lot more respect for carpenters skills and knowledge recently thanks to RUclips. Never heard of a tusk tenon. Will try one today at the bench. Keep up the good work.

    Hi Robin, Thank you for a great video, as an old school carpenter is lovely seeing the old joints we used to use still being used by the younger generation today, my first ever sight of a tucked tenon joint was on a very large Mahogany S shaped bevelled glass screen/dividing wall fixed to the wooden floor that had the original carpenters name carved into it and the date on the wedge, A. T. James, 1871 in a shop on Henrietta street in the beautiful city of Bath. thank you foe keeping the skills going and looking forward to seeing more of your work, best regards Ian

    I had a house, a Georgian/Victorian listed pile. When the ceilings fell in, we could see the tusk tenons in all their glory. They even did a bit of fancy decorative work on the ends of the wedge.
    Joists were all Dougie fir or pitch pine though.
    Thanks for sharing.

I would much rather view and appreciate a structure with this type of joinery. Thank you, for the wonderfully made tutorials, I look forward to enjoying my subscription. Now, one more thing, please, whenever possible, go into more detail about and provide links or descriptions for any prefered tools and jigs used.

    As a builder of over 25 years in the game ive covered and worked on jobs for example involving carpentry on barn conversions where id cut the tenons and mortices on oak beams using a chain saw! Ive laid bricks. Blocks, Patios, ive plastered walls and ceilings theres not much i haven’t done myself or been involved in. Ive soaked up so much knowledge and experience over the years because i love the work i do! Its that simple the key is loving your work! You learn 10 times as fast. I think i know as much now as some half hearted trade man after 50 years in the game because i remember everything and im always listening to new ways of doing things. But Its got to be running through your veins! If it is you be at the pinnacle of your chosen profession, and i can see Robin absolutely loves what he does. And that is the key to why hes so good at it! And hes honestly in all my time in building one of the best trades ive seen! Love these videos

Have done a bit of this with white oak replacing old timber in our 18th century farm and I never knew about this manner of joining; just used tenon and mortaise without the tusk and the sloped cut; but the sections were much larger, so perhaps not necessary? Farm's finished now(and so am I,) but enjoy watching and learning something new..You're one great carpenter, that's for certain. .cheers rr Normandy, France
