Thanks really beneficial in my revision for gcse product design but how do u no how deep to chisel the mortise? Is it trail and error or some other method?

[JoshLovesItReviews]

Thanks John! Very traditional.

[hedorah99]

I love these videos. They make me want to invest in some hand tools.

[agshank1]

YOU ROCK

[Markxverica]

3rd video I've watched of yours. Theyre really helpful

[RPPerry1984]

I'm very new to woodworking and I have only made a few simple pieces (adirondack chairs, Cook book holders, etc) and I am looking to get into more intricate projects.. John Bullar is the easiest to learn from!! I was going to rush out and buy router bits to do Tenon and Mortise joints, but this way looks like more fun and hands on. thanks John!!

[TheRD3D]

very helpful, thank you (:

[Tommyfungun]

@johnbullar How do I make sure the tenon is the same length as the mortise hole? is their a technique? I always seem to go in to deep....or do I just keep checking. I have just started a carpentry course at my college so I am a rookie....thank you.

[kuruptJacob]

thank you john because of this video i completed my assignment in no time at all.

[MrZachendricks]

Fantastic video Mr. Bullar. You might want to have your sound technician check the audio levels... just slightly distorted. NO GRIPES! I loved the video and I'm getting your book.

I didn't see if you were selling videos, but I, for one, would purchase that as well..

[jsproudlock]

Really great instruction. Very clear and well made video!

[ShutTFup]

very professional, very skilled, well spoken, video quality is perfect and neatly edited and finished.

Do you have an online copy which I can purchase, rather than purchasing a book and waiting on delivery?

[avantisprod]

Technically superior as filmmaking and as carpentry. thanks. However, I still want to do it with a mortising machine and dados, along with the accompanying nuclear power plant to run the machines.

[richardday]

Clear, concise and cohesive. You made it look easy; the sign of a craftsman!

[gerbschmitt]

your videos sure make it look easy. i noticed that you used the same saw for what i thought was a rip cut and a cross cut. is this common? is it a cross cut saw? also, if you were mortising on a post all the way through, say 3 inches, would you use the same method? beautiful chisel, looks like a bar of silver. could a noob use a regular bevel sided chisel?

Excelente!

[marikalwin]

John ive watched 2 of your tubes tonight and am so impressed you have taught me alot thankyou...i will definately be buying your book :) btw this isnt my acct but my girlfriends .

[Fiercebalrog]

Informative and clear. Just what I needed many thanks. Seemless advert too! Nice one :)

[VanClaaude]

I wish you were my Master and I was your apprentice in woodworking trade. Anyway, DVD lessons would be a splendid idea !!!

[toneslingercliff]

@sircus: I hear ya!

@John. We want a DVD!!! :)

[toneslingercliff]

Great video and great editing. Do u have a DVD series?

[Surkis]

@toneslingercliff Yeah seriously; Well spoken, good instructions, great editing so you can see what he's actually doing. I haven't the slightest clue about carpentry or anything and even I feel like I could do one of these joints after watching this video with very little problem.

[SmokingBongs101]

not as easy as it looks.. did one today

[pckj91]

Gracias, ha sido muy ilustrativo de su parte.

[SpellPsychology]

very good, this will help for my gcse exam you included a lot of useful equipment!

[mankillsquare]

Great vid. Any techniques for ensuring the mortice is as deep as the tenon is long? or at least, not excessively deep? I suppose just keep gauging with something... Or shall I just buy the damn book?! :D

[27john1]

Thank you, made it look so easy 

[johnchezy]

Great video. Very helpful. Thanks!

[shaneeeeak]

This was a truely wonderful and informative vid. Thanks for sharing!

[bigbeavis88]

Any tips for achieving a perfectly vertical cut , especially on the tenon cheek cuts? I almost always am slightly out of vertical on these cuts, which makes for tough going, especially when the tenon ends up thinner closest to the shoulder. I'm sure lots of practice is part of it, but figured I'd see if you had any recommendations.

[eccvinnie]

Mr. Bullar, had you thought of or do you offer a downloadable series (DVD or download) of fundamental skill sets such as this one?

[watashiwahatchi]

you are awesomes! As well as skills, you have a great (and rare) ability to explain this simply. excellent videos

[wilderness111]

Mr. Bullar, have found you only this morning. Your ability to explain the process and keep it at it's most simplistic is greatly appreciated. Many of the books word the process into a frightening endeavor . I also will be buying your book. Thanks again for making it easy to learn. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

[reggieray123]

are then wheel gauge better then the wooden gauges?

[Ambiguity82]

@MrMagsimus

Actually, that sounds like a great idea!

[talean]

Thanks for the great instructional videos. I've been hoping to get into woodworking with hand tools, and these have been a great start. Having enjoyed the videos, I visited the local Woodcraft (an American chain of woodworking shops) and picked up your book. Cheers!

[THEPUMP10]

Mr. Bullar, that was an informative video, thank you. Is it your preference to make the tenon before the mortise or conventional wisdom?

[7199715]

great...nice teaching... made furniture making look easy....thks...

[aidic14]

whenever i make a mortice and tennon joint my wood always seems to be twisted slightly how can i improve??

[mikesuser]

If i was building a coffee table, would i glue the joint or anything?

[noisepuppet]

I have your book! Nice video, thanks for the tips.

[XMagnatrixX]

thanks really helpful!!so the chisel must be the as the mortise

[k33ras]

how many teeth per inch is your back saw?

[f1tzy0]

thx this should help me at school cos the teacher has no idea how to do it properly.

5stars!

[whig475]

That was very instructive and answered several questions I had. Thank you!

[1sadcock]

Great Videos Mr Bullar!  I noticed you have 2 different editions of your book. Can you tell me what the differences are between the American and European publications?

[sjdehner1]

Excellent video, extremely helpful. Thanks.

[TeenWoodworker]
