 A Table for the Gazebo #5: Mortises, two waysWell, I was going to do Olde School and chisel/chop them out.. Was taking way too long…Thought there MIGHT be a quicker way….Seems the tenons are 3/8” thick….hmmm I do have a decently sharp 3/8” Forstner bit….I’d still have to lay out the mortises the same way….then clean the mortise out with a chisel.. Seemed to go a little quicker…..like about 3 this way, to 1 the other way….able to get a few dry fits, too… Even t...
