Finally a mortise and tenon jig that I can afford and can build myself. That simple video just took all the trepidation out of making those joints. Once my shop is set up I'll be making one. Thank you.

Running The Jig through the table saw and making a thin kerf is brilliant. Such a simple way to make it perfect!

That you so much from "down under" in New Zealand! The video on making a loose tenon joint has made it so clear to me now. I will be using this type of Joinery quite often in the future on various projects. It is really so simple, and cheap, to make up the appropriate jig for the job. Thanks once again. Doug 🤠

I had to rewatch the part of placing the jig fence like 6 times before I got it. As usual I was overthinking it. Brilliant design and I can’t wait to apply this loose tenon joinery for the next doors I build. Sure sounds easier than the rail and style method on the shaper I did plus dowels to make some solid oak doors a few years ago. 😉

I have been working with wood since I was a small kid in the 70's alongside my dad in his garage shop. I like that while you have and use the new tech, you also add little ways to make things with the older skills, and less expensive tools. good job, keep it up. I have passed my love of woodworking along to my son, who also watches your videos.
-
Thanks for making the jig part of this simple and straightforward. :)
-
Sir, you are a genius. This is something I have been looking to build for a while as I can't justify the outlay on a Domino. I look forward to spending the next few days watching your video archive. Thank you and a big hello from the UK!
-
You ran through that really quickly, a rookie such as myself will have to watch and a few more times and take some notes. Really cool video
-
Thank you for another informative video that explains how I can rectify a problem I have. As an old (71 years) Marine Ordnance-man I am always amused by the Stumpy Nubs nick-name. We sometimes referred to our less cautious fellow ordnance brothers as One-eyed, Stumpy, limping guy. The really careless brethren were simply referred to in the past tense. Semper Fidelis.

I must say, that is a slick way to do mortises and tenons for large pieces. Affordable too.
-
If you don’t already have a tv show you should. Not that I want you to leave here, you just do a great job and I think you deserve a large audience.

You’re just a Stud! I don’t know what else to say….?? lol. Your vids up my woodworking game….. so what else am I suppose to say….??! Besides, thx a million!
-
Giving us all the benefits of your years of experience, it almost makes it feel like we’re cheating. As always, thank you for making our time in the shop all that much better.

James, you're the muts nuts. That's awesome in UK English. 😎👏👍✌️

This video is perfect -- fantastically good tips, expertly presented. I made two jigs like this to create loose-tenon mortises in a queen bed frame, adding a second fence to enclose the workpieces completely. A wide jig for the leg mortises, and a narrower one for the headboard and footboard rails. It's hard to slide the router bit sideways to cut deep 1/2"-wide mortises in red oak -- especially in end grain. The plunging method is the answer. Thanks for your help, once again. All hail Stumpy Nubs!

Thanks for taking the time and effort to help all of us DIYers that can not afford $1,000 + for the other loose tenon jig. I really like the simplicity of this jig. I am going to be building a few cabinets soon and will be using this jig for the joinery.
-
This is by far the best alternative for the beginner wood worker in place of both the JessEm Pocket Mill Pro and/or Festool Domino. The plunge router can be used for far more applications than either of those two "one trick ponies". I'll be sharing this video!
-
Loose tenon joinery is a very nice option in most cases, I'd also recommend checking the Samurai Carpenters Mortise and Tenon jig for routers, that one is awesome.
-
My favorite part is leaving the tenon a little shy in the mortise. That's something my perfectionism just won't always let me do, but it sure is nice to have that little movement when you need it!
