I've always chopped the tenon first then matched the mortise to the tenon until today.
I just did some mortises first and matched the tenon to it. I think I like it better, I believe i am more precise and I find it easier to position the face of the board where I want it then mark the tenon on the but end.
Can't be the only one or is this a long standing argument along the lines of tails first or pins first. Doesn't matter which as long as you're comfortable with it, right?
