While I use another means to make my bridle joints, your method is cost effective for someone who is on a budget. I also like the fact that you actually teach woodworking unlike a bunch of other channels on UA-cam. Since 1976 when I started woodworking in high school, woodworking joints have not changed much but the way we make them has. Safety and being able to repeat them again and again is key. This follow-up video to the floating table proves your willingness to teach methods and processes in woodworking. I always look forward to a new video on your channel!
love the fact that you can say "oops, I messed up but guess what this is how I can fix it" to many people today think carpenters get it right the first time every time
This comment is several years since you posted this, but after viewing many bridal joint videos, yours is the best. The reason I say this is because your fence does not move. It is the thickness of the shim which provides the solution. I will recommend you channel to my friends. Nice work!
I literally opened up UA-cam today just to look up a better tenoning jig, in a concerted effort to keep my fingers firmly attached to my hand for just one more weekend. I would usually start with this channel for that search... But before I could even get there, I saw this video at the top of my recommended videos that had just been uploaded today. Perfect! This is getting made and then well used this weekend! As always, I genuinely appreciate the content and advice.
I love your approach to explaining the product and how the pieces go together first and of course your tips! Eliminates all the guess work and assumptions!
That’s a great idea, Jonathan. Definitely adding this to my saved playlists. Also, get you with your fancy on-screen animation regarding the bits&bits bits 👍
I’m an armchair Woodworker (i.e. not allowed near rotating machinery or sharp things) but I have an idea you might try. This joint is square in cross section by the very nature of its construction. I’m thinking it may lend itself naturally to being core bored. If you locate the dead centre of the joint and bore the the dowel hole on the the centre line but 1/8” closer to the end, in both the cheeks and tongue, the dowel would then pull both pieces in tight. Again, because the set up is symmetrical, it could be jigged up in a drill press for repeatability. It’s more a visual thing than adding strength. Just a thought.
Just an idea, when you are going to list katz-moses jigs on Amazon, it will make it easier to buy for us living outside the US. Love your quality videos ❤️
Great video, I'm building entry table and want to use bridal joints so this is perfect! I had no real good idea how to do it until I saw this.. Keep up the great work
A wonderfully helpful tutorial from a wonderfully helpful tutor! May I just suggest to add that the shim needs to be thinner than your bevel by exactly the width of your blade? If you don’t want the hassle of planning your shim « just so » by trial and error, use two shims: the first one should have the width of your saw and the second the width of your tenon. There are plenty of easy and safe ways to produce shims of the width of your blade available on youtube. Hope this helps!
What a great video!? I love jigs. They make hard work repeatable and fairly easy. I’m totally gonna make this jig. I like the addition of tool pins during the video, very cool, makes it easy to locate them in the description. I also like that you demonstrated on a table saw and a router. I live in a state where dados are illegal.
Need a tool tuneup video. I just bought a craftsman 6 1/8 jointer for $120. Kept in really good shape so well the owner still had factory spare blade set with box and a pristine version of the user manual. I’d like to go through it but love your tune up videos.
I will be making one of these. Been playing with my tenoning jig trying to work out how to do this. Seems to me there should be a way to do it that is not dependant on the thickness of the stock, I was using a shim the thickness of my saw blade (glue line rip blade that cuts a flat bottom kerf) and stock about 3/4" for starters. Sometimes it worked perfectly and sometimes not so much.
Awesome jig! One question: at 2:35 you take a light pass with the table saw along the bottom of the assembled jig. Why is that? Doesn't everything get squared up when you stand the stock up against the assembly, before clamping on the large piece that rides the fence (going back to your comments at 1:35) ?
I didn't hear you mention this, but I'm going to ask what might be the obvious. Is the dado stack the same thickness as the spacer and therefore the joint?
I am a complete novice and your videos have been such a great help and inspiration. Thank you. That being said I have a question: What is a toggle clamp. You use it in this video and in the last, just curious.
Thanks for your video. I plan on making my white oak table legs with the bridle joint with 8/4 (8 quarter oak). I think 8 quarter is thicker stock than what you show on your video, how would I make a jig that would fit size wood?
Hi - is this joint strong enough to use as a kitchen table base? I would make two rectangles for the ends. 78 long table, 2x2 or 3x3 as the legs, joined with bridals. I would assume this is way stronger than just glue and pocket holes.
why not a hollow grove from the front to the back on the jig? Having that 'filled' space with screws in-line (on the same plane)with the blade seems a little problematic. I get that you're not going all the way through(front to back) with the jig but a momentary lapse of attention could easily produce some sparks and drama!
we all do 1/3 on these joints but it’s wrong. it should be slit even to make the joint strong on both pieces. 3” thick pieces, the tenon should be 1 1/2” thick not 1” thick, if the tenon is 1 1/2” thick, that female piece should have two 3/4” thick tabs, wings, whatever you want to call them. both pieces will have an equal amount of stock to hold on to the other side. not surface area, same amount of meat. (3/4”) (1 1/2”) (3/4”) versus. (1”) (1”) (1”)
I get nervous with the screws in the lower part of the jig. If you go a little to far on the table saw, that dado stack is ruined. I know you're probably aware, and wont be doing it, but I wouldn't trust my self if I used the jig.
@@katzmosestools I was searching for a possible meaning of "bridal", and I found one; it made me think of those wooden naked male and female figures when I was young 😀
My shop is a result of my mantra, "No zero days."

@@katzmosestools I'm a lot better at woodworking than I used to be as a result of watching you and a few other YT rs. Now all I need is the money for some tools, a space to make into a shop and I'll be good to go! ;~)

My guy!
This is one of the best videos I have seen for making the very easy and strong joint for any kind of frame.
I love your approach to explaining the product and how the pieces go together first and of course your tips! Eliminates all the guess work and assumptions!
That’s a great idea, Jonathan. Definitely adding this to my saved playlists. Also, get you with your fancy on-screen animation regarding the bits&bits bits 👍
I'd make the table saw as the number one choice for a bridle joint, Jonathan.
Oh how I wish my dado stack cut as evenly as that.

That could definitely work.
Those look awesome! I've been trying to expand my skill set by trying my hand at joinery other than pocket holes or butt joints.

You make it look easy… thanks 👍🏻
This came in super handy for my current build! Thank you
Thanks for the advice shims, easy and free! Got to love it!
Cheers
This would've come in handy on my shelf build. Thanks for sharing this idea!
brilliant jig, yet so simple for a DIYer to do it. Thanks for sharing
Great tutorial, Jonathan. The video`s that you make help those of us that are not quite as talented in woodworking as yourself. Thank you.
Very nice, simple jig, very cool!
Thanks my friend, I will be using this method next time.

Gotta make one this weekend with my new router table. :)
Yes!

The bridal joint is underrated.
Love the way you make things simple. gonna try for sure, when I get some heat in the shop, it's cold in Canada. :)
Thanks bud!
My go to joint except rabbet. Only use jigsaw to made it but tricky😂. Need to tilt the jigsaw here and there to perfect the cut
Thanks for your videos! I really enjoy them and I LOVE seeing all the cool joints that you use!
Thanks Ruth!
What a great and simple jig!! And what good advise about the shim. Great video 👍
Fantastic love this
Love this! 100% making this jig for future use.
Nice Brother👍
Wow Jonathan. This looms too simple to believe. Got to see how I succeed or not with the same set up. Haha. I am no JKM that is for sure
Pretty easy to use. You got this.

Muito bom seu trabalho parabéns

It's so great, I hate you so much right now... ha ha ha Sorry! Thanks man, great video.
I think you just wanted to crumple up some jay bates stickers!!
Wow. Dado saw blade???.
I am a complete novice and your videos have been such a great help and inspiration. Thank you. That being said I have a question: What is a toggle clamp. You use it in this video and in the last, just curious.
I link it in the Bridle Joint Jig video I released today. They're face clamps that are pretty useful in jig making
How do you suggest cutting these when the pieces are 5” wide not accommodated by the
the depth of a 10” table saw blade?
Thanks for your video. I plan on making my white oak table legs with the bridle joint with 8/4 (8 quarter oak). I think 8 quarter is thicker stock than what you show on your video, how would I make a jig that would fit size wood?
Hey Jonathan! Great videos, nice work. You have the plans for this jig?
Could this jig be made to cut angled miter joints? For example, two pieces of wood coming together at 22.5 degrees
Hi - is this joint strong enough to use as a kitchen table base? I would make two rectangles for the ends. 78 long table, 2x2 or 3x3 as the legs, joined with bridals. I would assume this is way stronger than just glue and pocket holes.
Loving the videos bud, You have the plan for this jig?
What if trying to join long pieces like making 7’ x 4’ frame?
Bridal joint: A place to get married and have a burger and fries.
Or, another way to put it: A place to eat, drink, and get married!
oh, how i wish i could fit a dado stack on my saw...
You could flip the jig over and use an edge guide on your router
I think ove carmera frame rates at 6min it looks like the MDF is made of rubber because the camera angle and frame rate.
Ha It does!
why not a hollow grove from the front to the back on the jig? Having that 'filled' space with screws in-line (on the same plane)with the blade seems a little problematic. I get that you're not going all the way through(front to back) with the jig but a momentary lapse of attention could easily produce some sparks and drama!
So, did you glue Jay's stickers back together? 😉
Lol
we all do 1/3 on these joints but it’s wrong.
it should be slit even to make the joint strong on both pieces.
3” thick pieces, the tenon should be
1 1/2” thick not 1” thick,

both pieces will have an equal amount of stock to hold on to the other side.
not surface area, same amount of meat.
(3/4”) (1 1/2”) (3/4”)
versus. (1”) (1”) (1”)
Smart jig bro! I like it. But is it technically yours? I mean, it does have Jay’s name written on it 😏
Hahahaha
What is that clamp you are using with jig to hold the piece? Did you drill a dog hole into jig?
Just linked it in the pinned comment. Yes a dog hole and it screws in through the back
Hey I have a dw745s, it doesn't take a dado blade, is there anything I can do short of moving the fence repeatedly for this job to work for me?
make a series of shims that are the width of your blade
I get nervous with the screws in the lower part of the jig. If you go a little to far on the table saw, that dado stack is ruined. I know you're probably aware, and wont be doing it, but I wouldn't trust my self if I used the jig.
That's why I have the xxxxxx drawn on there
I need to cut a bridle joint on 70x30” frame how would you recommend I cut them on such long pieces?
Drag your table saw outside? Use a cross cut sled for the tongue and cut the groove with a hand saw?
Thanks Man!

nope. just glue
