Glen has created a mortise and tenon jig that is cheap works well and speeds the building process.
Build a mortise tenon coffee table.
Plunge the workpiece onto the spinning router bit while also maintaining pressure against the fence.
You need to consider the width of the legs then how long the rail needs to be then add the extra length for the tenons.
There are dozens of ways to complete mortise and tenon furniture.
Design the table of your dreams.
That s a standard coffee table height.
The important thing to remember in this layout is that each leg will two mortises in a mirrored orientation so that the apron will actually fit to each leg.
Mortise and tenon coffee table plans.
Custom hardwood tables and furniture built in mckinney tx and ships anywhere in the u s.
So be sure to visit that post and download the tenon jig plan free.
Clamp to the router table a 1 4 plywood skin with a cutout for the bit.
The skin reduces the depth of cut for the first pass so you need not adjust the router align the line for the left end of the mortise with the start line.
I then cut 4 rails using standard 42mm x 19mm pine stock.
This free downloadable workbench plan includes a materials list cut list diagrams color photos and lots of tips along the way.
The mortise is the part that is notched in the legs to receive the tenon to be constructed on the apron.
But i do want to point you to a helpful blog post from glen huey for this particular shaker table project.
