Video Demo of 'Godzilla' the Horizontal Mortiser

For this mortiser I used a lot of design aspects from Woodgears. The main difference being the X,Y tables. Instead of drawer guides, I used polished steel shafts and sintered bronze bushings. It slides around great.

This was the most complicated jig I have ever made. It took me a little over two weeks to build.

If you=92d like to build your own, you can find plans at Woodgears for sale. If you choose to use the polished steel shafts and bushings as I did, there is a CAD drawing on my website.

It looked like a wheelbarrow replacement handle I had to carve as a kid on the farm. No fancy tools. My dad handed me a chunk of wood and a knife and told me to carve it. I complained that knife was dull, He told me to sharpen it. So I carved me a replacement wheelbarrow handle. Your cute little handle brings back memories.

Do you make your own tenons?

Yes, I make them custom for each project. I wonder if it would be worth buying the ones that are sold for the Domino?

WOO-HOO !!!!

What a blast -- both watching it, and seeing how smooth and functional it is.

Why do I have the feeling that -- for about thirty five bucks worth of parts, at Radio Shack -- you could remote-operate that, from your living room ?

Verrry cool !

Funny! I was thinking your could attach a motor to the Z-axis and add a screw drive to the Y-axis (depth of cut). You could add motors to each axis and write a program I suppose.?. :^)

Very cool! I'm impressed, and envious.

One suggestion: you should get a "Tool Girl", like Tim had on "Home Improvement".

Thank you!

It really wasn't that difficult to build But because it had a lot of parts, it took some time.

Now you're talking! :)
