A few weeks ago I built a TV stand that had some long mortise and tenon joints. In that video I did not demonstrate completely how I built the jig to make the mortise cuts with a router and it has been requested that I show how I made them. In response to these requests, here I will describe how it was done.
This jig is basically made as a one time use jig for a particular project, as it is not adjustable making it unconducive for different projects. It is made from scrape cutoffs from other projects, so the cost is negligible. I just happen to have some 1/2 “ baltic birch plywood available, you can use any kind of wood (plywood would be the best in my opinion) but wouldn’t want to go any smaller than 1/2 “.

Simple but effective. Wondering if you would do a vid for doing something like this again but for mortise along the edge of the board. Making a box that connects with magnets. Using 1/2" ply, 3/8" bit, and the magnets are 60mm L x 10mm W x 3mm thick.

That sounds interesting. Have no plans of doing anything like that in the near future, but you never know. Thanks for your input and for watching
