Gary just want to say you're a natural at presenting. Keep it up. I'm doing this for my Roubo soon. The other tip I've seen is to skip all the measuring and drop an undersized Brad point bit into the hole of the leg and tap it making sure it's biased the correct direction. I avoid measuring whenever possible.
Thanks Matt. I appreciate your kind words. Thanks so much for watching. I used the method I came up with in the video because I don’t have the correct “undersized” Brad point bit to do it the more efficient way you said.
@@garynelles I was going to suggest the same thing except I always use the bit I drilled the hole with so I am sure it is centered. BTW - Greeting from someone who used to work in Tillsonburg
@@mikehuber6005 thanks for watching! I’m learning that it’s very slow to grow a UA-cam channel these days so I’m counting on likes and comments to get this channel off the ground. It’s cool you worked in Tillsonburg. Was it recent? Can I ask where?
Thanks I appreciate that. Woodworking really is not rocket science but a lot of people seem to make it that way. Thank you for watching! Eventually I will do a video on the bench build so make sure you subscribe to my channel.
@@garynelles I already did :) and I‘m glad you pointing that out because i have almost no woodworking background (engineering background) but I find it really challenging if you don‘t habe the right tools… like flattening the lumber without a jointer was took me almost 3 days… i used a thicknesser and a jig I build with 75 screws haha maybe u can spare a min and watch my short video on that would like to hear your professional opinion on that 😅
Hi - I enjoyed your video a lot! I've done some mortise and tenon work before - but this is first I've seen the drawbore. I'm looking for 'table' leg joinery to hold the extended countertop on one end of a kitchen island. What would you suggest: Mortise and Tenon (and possibly drawbore) or simply use bolts and a lap joint ? I'm using white oak. Any thoughts would be helpful !! Thank you.
any thoughts on elongating the hole in the tenon in the lateral direction? I'm concerned with my chances of getting the hole perfectly aligned with the hole in the leg and the axis of the mortise.
I use a pencil sharpener to create that bevel. Works really well. It's one of the sharpener with the normal size and the larger size.
Sometimes I just like to use more power! Haha!

@@garynelles I retired from Marwood a couple of years ago
@@mikehuber6005 I was asking because your name is very familiar.
I love this idea but do wonder, as a amateur, if one could do this with loose tenons as well. Have 4 dowels instead of 2.
I don’t see why not. That will certainly work as too. Thanks for watching. I appreciate it!
I‘m actually building my roubo workbench haha 😂 I bought a book from christoph schwarz but your explanation is really good done!

@@PharaohsCave your method will work too.
@@garynelles yeah this method works but i was doing like 2.6 m lumber and i had 12 of them 😂 glueing 🪵 have been a hell of a job

Mortise and tenon should be fine unless you don’t have clamps long enough to clamp it then I would consider drawboring it.

If I understand what you typed correctly, then that will not draw bore the joint when you hammer the dowel into it
endgrain bottom will absorb moisture, no room to swell
Endgrain bottom of what?
