Workshop Practice: Mortise and Tenon Joints
The mortise and tenon joint is a standard carpentry exercise in school and ITI woodwork shops. Students mark the mortise on a softwood rail with a pencil and a Square, choosing a chisel the same width as the mortise. They chop from the middle towards each end with a wooden mallet, lever out the waste and pare the end walls square.
The tenon is then sawn to fit and the joint is tried together dry before gluing. Teachers can then cut a similar mortise on the Chisel Mortise Machine so students can compare hand and machine work for time and finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is a mortise chisel different from a bench chisel?
A mortise chisel is made to be struck hard with a mallet and levered against the wood to break out waste. A bench chisel is lighter and is used more for paring. The steel rings on these ash handles take the mallet blows.
Which chisel width should I use?
Pick the chisel that matches the mortise width. A common rule makes the mortise about one third of the thickness of the timber. With blades from 13 to 50 mm, the set suits both light frames and heavier joinery.
What should the chisels be struck with?
Use a wooden or soft-faced mallet, never a steel hammer. A steel hammer damages the handle top even with the ring fitted, and its hard blow is difficult to control.
How are the chisels sharpened?
Grind the bevel only when the edge is chipped, then hone it on an oilstone, keeping the edge square to the sides of the blade. Rub the burr off on the flat back. A keen edge cuts the end grain at each end of the mortise cleanly.
How should the set be stored?
Keep each chisel in a rack or tool roll with the edge covered, so the edges do not knock together. Wipe the blades dry and give them a light coat of oil to keep rust off between classes.
