Wow, I haven't ever seen this many cranky comments on a WOODWORKING video before. I can't believe that folks would get so worked up about how a guy makes a tenon and drills a hole! No wonder they sell so much Prozac, people have no sense of perspective.
Sir that was a SLOPPY fit and you know it! You should split the tenoned "log" and put a wedge in to expand and make a nice fit. This could be done blind or otherwise.
he started off by saying he was going to demonstrate a "Clean" peal and a "Skip" peal... he said nothing while skinning the log and then went on to other steps. the title was using a draw knife.... think he left a lot out...
nice video.. but it lacked instructions about the name of the part used with the drill to cut the tenon. it focused on pealing the log but there was no explanation when the tenon was cut. it does look easy ...
Hey, thanks for taking the time to watch my video and comment... The part you asked about is a "Tenon Cutter" and you can learn more about them here: logfurnituredirectory-com/tools/
I have no experience using a "green mortise log when building such furniture. I would think that could create problems when finishing the furniture. The best recommendation is to use seasoned wood and cut precise mortises for a good fit. You could also use a wedge at the end of the tenon, which would expand the tenon when hammered to the bottom of the mortise hole.
I have no experience my self, but my father who was in many eyes an excellent craftsman will you you it works quite well, He will also tell you it's unreliable due to splitting, and other problems due to moisture and etc, We had a very large dining table that he used no glue on several joint, It lasted 35 years until the home burned, albeit a a crack running the length due to improperly dried material.
Oh, nicely done. But..I have a question.....I am from Croatia...and I would like to buy that wxtension for the drill....do you know where to buy it, or is there any way else to produce these joints for log construction??
Wow, I didn't know that! I was searching for info about log furniture construction methods and ended up here. This was very interesting. Not they typical junk you find so much of these days. ~ML

I've read that some people use a seasoned tenon and a green mortise log so that the Mortise will shrink around the tenon and make a tighter joint.

If you want to get into building your own log furniture, this explains a lot.
