The mortise and tenon joint is the key to making tables, chairs, windows, and doors. Jim Kingshott shows how to lay out and cut the joint using back-saws, chisels, and other traditional hand tools. Jim Kingshott explains tools, techniques and traditions in a friendly conversational style that everyone can understand. In this beautifully produced video, Jim welcomes viewers into his own small, tool-filled workshop. He passes along the skills and secrets that were handed down to him, and he freely shares the insights gained during 50 years at the workbench.
