    Love the video you can also make the peg end slightly bigger than the hole and soak it in water to make the wood softer and squishy then use mallet or hammer and bang it into the hole then let it dry. It'll expand as it drys and seal itself and you don't need to put in a wedge that's how I make my stools/chairs

    Fun fact: sand is made of the same material as Silica Gel, the stuff in those packets in all your packages and food. They're used to keep things dry because they suck up all the water in the air.

      It's the same material, but silica gel works because of its microstructure rather than because of any inherent dessicant properties of silica.

      The hot sand isn't to absorb moisture, it's just a clean way to distribute heat. The moisture can float off into the air just fine.

    I use a crank cutter for tenon, and a scotch eye auger for boring. It's slow. But the joints seem to hold better.

    I went to a summer camp with an old frontier homestead from the 18th century and they had antique porch furniture made with this technique...the oldest was from the 19th century and the youngest was not antique yet, it was from the 1930s. I literally studied it because we were told it was made with no glue or nails and that fascinated me.

    To prevent future mortice tool breakages you either need your work lower or stand on a block or stool so you can better stabilise your tools to ensure the only movement is the rotation you control as you cut without any additional side to side movements that caused the break
