Early Access Video: Fine Furniture Joinery on the Lathe
Added 2019-01-19 19:39:04 +0000 UTCFriends:
I recently had to make a workout bench for my wife and she wanted it FAST. So, rather than use traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery, I turned round tenons on the lathe. Then I made mortises by just drilling holes and I wedged my tenons for an ultra-tight fit. The whole thing came out fast, easy, and rock-solid. I'm quite proud of the finished product.
And yes, this is another video where I promote my new book, but I promise that next week's video won't even mention the lathe.
Stay warm!

2019-01-20 00:12:20 +0000 UTCI've always wondered how I could better incorporate lathe work into furniture projects. I'll remember this for next time.
