How To Cut Perfect Mortice Walls - With A Router Plane

- The router plane is one of those rare tools that seems to always be in my hand despite not really being an essential in my minimal tool kit.
In doesn't quite have the versatility of a chisel which can pretty much come in for anything. But when it does suit a job it offers precision with such simplicity that it's an absolute joy to use.
If you've got one (and you should have) then you'll be eager for excuses to put it into action, so here's a tip for a use that the manufacturers might have overlooked - accurately cleaning up mortice walls.
The video above is a clip taken from our Danish Stool Series - and it explains when and how to benefit from this approach.

We've been busy in the background these past couple of years, and though we've created plenty of video builds for you to follow along things have been quiet around here on UA-cam.
We'd like to pick up the pace again so start keeping an eye out for new content, and check out the blog if you'd like to join in with discussions!

Spot on Richard, what a brilliant solution, and yet, so simple.
Cheers
This feels so obvious now that I've seen it.
Perfect trick to have in the back pocket when working with a mortice! I could also see it being useful if you screw up a mortice when cutting them out (go off your lines or the hole gets wallowed out when prying out waste) and need to establish a new mortice hole that doesn't match your chisels. Better be sure your stock is square though!
Simple, yet genius. Never seen this done before, kudos, thanks for sharing!
I'd wager that a lot of smaller projects that call for mortise and tenon joints could actually get away with a shallower mortise anyway, negating the need to clean up after with a chisel. Great tip Richard.
