Hi: I just finished building a slide assembly for my Shopsmith that allows me to easily make "loose" mortises. One question remains...
Should the "loose" tenons be the same material, or would a more stable material such as tempered fiberboard be the prudent choice. The fiberboard is precisely 1/4", does not swell and is very strong. Not to mention, easy to "store" in the shop.
Does anyone have first hand knowledge with loose mortise and tenon construction.
