I get a great many emails asking me what is the best way to cut mortise and tenon joinery. I don’t think there is any best way, but I made this video to show you a quick and easy way using a router and a table saw sled to make perfect mortice and tenon joints.
Here is a link to see how to build my table saw sled:

That jig will make things so much easier, and so simple. What a Blessing to have your children interested and working along with you.
-
I can be thankful to those who post stuff like this. I learn a lot when people are willing to teach how to do stuff in woodworking.
-
I love how your family joins in working in the shop.
-
wow the shaving of the tenon instead of chiseling the mortise tip is awesome for quick jobs
-
You know I just wanna stop and say how generous it is of you and your time to show people like me how to create A mortise and tenon you were able to simplify it to a digestible process . I discovered your channel maybe a year ago and I’ve been very impressed with not only your generosity of information and giving of your time not to mention the friendly way you deliver it I appreciate what you do for this community that I am hopefully becoming part of

Wow. I've been looking around on YouTube for something like this and it has exceeded my expectations for help cutting mortises in 3x3 legs for a table I'm building. You should do wood shows (if you don't already). You get right to the point will clear and concise instructions.

This video really demystifies the process for rookies like myself. Thanks a million for the great video
-
Just in time as I'm preparing to do mortise and tenon joints with limited tools, it is also inspiring to see your family involved in the woodworking business. Thanks James

James I just stumbled upon this most helpful video this morning. You've opened the door that just solved a major challenge for me. Now I know just how to make a triangular mortise and the mated tenon. Thank you ever so much.
-
Great presentation! Thanks for sharing! It's great to see a family working together!
-
this is the excellent way you uploaded this video for learners.Thank you very much .
-
Always wondered how this joinery is done, it is not easy but with lots practice I think I can follow it. Thanks it really helps me a lot.
-
When I see videos about mortise and tenons, and I see those people using only chisels, I used to say that I would never use that method because of the time it would take me, but I changed my position...because of your explaining...looks faster and much more user friendly!!! THANKS!!!
-
I was skeptical on this video, but hey, it was a great video. Thanks dude
-
you have the best informative video and narration on youtube IMO. thank you!
-
Another great video from the King Family! Thanks. ❤️

Good video as usual. I like to cut my tenons just a bit short (maybe a 64th) of the length or the mortise, so they won't bottom out. That way I know the shoulders will be tight against the mating piece.
