Woodworking tenon and mortise course

Mortise and tenon are very important skills in carpentry. This is a method for connecting two wooden members. They can be used to make furniture, doors and windows, structural parts of houses and so on. Next, I will introduce you to the technical operation of woodworking tenon and mortise.

1. First, you need to prepare the wood you need. Mark the length of the wood with a ruler, and then saw it to the required length with a saw. The width should be determined according to the requirements of each project to ensure that the wood you choose is suitable for your needs.

2. In order to make two wood components join together closely, you need to use a small hammer and chisel to make tenons and mortises. The tenon is a downward extending convex structure, and the mortise is an upward extending groove. Before making tenons and mortises, you need to determine their size and shape according to the width and depth of wood.

Once you have finished making the tenon and mortise, you can start to connect the two wooden components together. First, insert the tenon into the mortise. Then, gently tap the wood with a wooden tenon hammer until they are tightly combined.

Finally, you can use wooden bolts or nails to strengthen your ties. Insert them into the side of the wood to avoid damaging the mortise and tenon structure. When using nails, you need to choose the appropriate length and size to ensure that they can be firmly fixed on the wood.

Generally speaking, woodworking mortise and tenon is a job that requires patience and skill. You need to master the right technology and use the right tools to ensure the quality and durability of your woodworking project. If you are not familiar with this technology, then we strongly recommend that you ask an experienced carpenter for help.
