Good vídeo for learning how to fast adjust a bridal joint when rough cutted. As Ron says a Master is not the person that doesnt make mistakes but knows how to fix Them. Thanks Ron.
In case anyone is confused, pretty much everywhere else I've ever seen this joint described in a decade of devouring books, DVD's, magazines, internet blogs, UA-cam channels, etc., it was referred to as a "bridle joint." Strange they wouldn't use what is by far the most common name for it, but maybe that's mentioned elsewhere in the video. By the way- If you're wanting to learn how to sharpen hand saws, Ron Herman's video on that is really, really good. Highly recommended.
Ryan Cheney Yep, you are right. It’s a bridal joint. Commonly used in window sash making along with sliding dovetail which is a much stronger joint. The best thing about the sliding dovetail is it does not require clamping or pinning.
I’m confused. First the mortise is too short, next the tenon is not long enough. Can a master please ‘splain that to me? 2+2=not enough. Plus what just happened to the overall length of the board? Do you now shorten both sides? I’m not sure I can figure this one out. I’m thinning “cut it twice and it’s still too short”.

A very good demonstration on sneaking up on a tight fitting joint.
I'm surprised he didn't use a backsaw...
He had problems on each step... It's better to name this video "see how not to do". (Facepalm)
Was not impressed with this
Sorry, but that's a pretty bad looking bridal joint. Ragged, and with huge gaps. Embarrassing really.
amen,,,,,,,,,that is exactly what i thought.........i even said to myself if i made this video i would not publish it............
