@pablus1977 That's great to hear! I would like to build some stands like this some day and park a car on them, just to stress the joints. I bet it would hold! Many factors of course...but I would stand behind a decent loose tenon joint any day! Thanks for your comment. John
The loose tenon approach really does simplify a lot of porjects in the same way a biscuit jointer does. You make matching mortise and glue in the tenon like a giant biscuit. The loose tenon approach helped me in the days when I was "scared" to make accurate tenons. The truth was, I didn't have a decent method for making tenons (I do now), but even so, loose tenons still have a high rank in my joinery arsenal.
Thank you John. I made similar jigs inspired by your videos and the result of my joints are now awesome.
