Hi all, Newbie in Yucaipa here...



I want to build a sofa table for the wife...but it's all mortise and tennon. So, I anticipate quite a bit of practice on scrap lumber. Anyone recommend a book or other resource on how to do these very basic joints?



Thanks,



JG

Just watch a few episodes of the New Yankee Workshop. Norm does mortise and tenon joinery just about every episode. It just takes practice. I still can't do them perfectly.

1) Fine Woodworking magazine has had numerous articles on the subject; see:

some articles. Search the index for others.

2) There are lots of books out there (Tage Frid Teaches Woodworking, etc.).

Wrote a book about those 2 connections. See the
