I recently built Johns horizontal mortice table
Its a solid piece of equipment.
Being as I work at a welding shop it was easy to get a router plate made up.
I built the rest out of scraps I had around the shop and just bought a few bolts.
The table is from FWW back around issue 232 I think.
The calla lily table.
I did it a few years ago with hand chopped mortices. It worked but was super difficult to fit and get square.
This time I did all the mortices in one 2 hour stint in the shop and the tennons the next night.
A bit of cleaning up with hand tools, just because I really like to do the final fit by hand.
Popped right together.
The inner pieces are doweled but all pieces going to legs were m&t.
Also did this cabinet.
Couldn't get the M&T to come out square...must be losing my touch because I have done lots.
Resorted to the tennoner
Anyway...just had to do a plug for a super usefull tool.
Thanks John
