I discovered you via your "how to use tools properly" videos. Your style of instruction is really clear and informative. Brilliant videos - those episodes 🙂and this series too.
Tips are good, level of detail is just great, so are all the shots. But the music is the real masterpice. I made a playlist with the songs that You have previously used, so I can listen to them in my workshop.
Thank you so much for this video. Had to do my first tenons 2 weeks ago and messed them up properly while flattening the cheeks.. I chiseled down in the endgrain, which worked well on one side, and was a disaster on the other side, as the grain directed where the chisel went..... I now know what I did wrong, I bet my next ones will be much better
Hi from South Africa! New to your channel and really enjoying it. Love your attention to detail and teaching. Are the plans still available? I am really keen to build the project. I followed the link but it is offline...?
Great video, and love to see trouble shooting of the joints at the end. So often this kinda of videos/projects just go cut the joints and jump right to a prefect fit/glueup. I ran into these issues with my first stool I made and was having alignment problems. I had it stuck in my head the joints had to be super tight so this kind of fix wouldn't work as anything else would fail and I just need to cut better joints first. It wasn't till my bench project with major tenons that I tried something similar to your solution and it worked out very well, and made me realize there is a lot of adjustment one can actually do.... and a hand tight tenon as a final goal is best. I look forward to the next episode.... I mean part.
I am in the comments to see if anyone had already asked this! I’ve always wondered. Matt has probably mentioned at some point in one of the many videos I’ve watched but I’ve missed it.
This was the first video from FOWS that I watched. I got a lot out of the instruction about cleaning up the joint for the perfect fit. As a new woodworker, I tend to jump around to different surfaces in an attempt to correct an improper fit. By the way, that system of jumping around doesn't work..... Thanks and looking forward to catching up on some more of your project videos.
Thanks for the guidance. I don't know if I could ask a question, but I would like an answer. I noticed and see that in order to do good work, our tools must be super sharp; The chisel always cuts me due to the sides after I adjust it, is it a good idea to break the sides so as not to cut when holding the tip?
Yep! Quite a common thing to do, just don't overdo it. Couple of strokes with some 240 grit usually does the trick. Just do it a few centimeters back from the edge to prevent any change of geometry in the cutting area
I notice when I go to your regular B&Q or Wickes the saws never specify if they're rip or cross. Do I need to go to more specialised shops for it? I tried to rip 500mm of a 40mm thick piece of maple... I got it done but it was no fun.
They're usually crosscut! Either that or some sort of hybrid that does both but is a master of none. Best bet is to go specialist rather than DIY stores :)

By far the best tutorials on youtube!
Yep. But he really talks too much !!! 😉
@@billsicander7371 But each sentence contains another valuable tip!
I like your hints on "minor" things!

Thanks for explaining the detailed steps and mindful way to sort out those mortise & Tennon joints which can cause so many problems.
I love how you explained the geometry, and went through the whole process with every aspect of it.
Very practical and clear instruction of the details to avoid errors. Often these details are grazed over. Thank you!
Thank you
very informative, thanks for the video

Can someone plese explain what the haunch is for?

would using a routerplane help with the twisting joints? or would that just move the problem to the mortices?
Yep! Should have mentioned that. It's a technique I used in my original tutorial of this joint a few years back

So I could just use a tenon saw for cutting tenons …😊
