I like that you explain everything out. There's one joint, similar to this one that is called: Mitered mortise and tenon with blind tapered sliding dovetail (Chinese Joinery). I have a table top here at my residence that about 5' long, 3' wide and it has 1/2" tiles on the surface-it weighs a ton. I'd like to build a base for it so I can set it up for my puzzle table (Dorian Bracht, joint venture episode 57)

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching and good luck with your build!

GREAT!!! You are amazing..

That was really cool. Thank you.

Great job!

wow

Fun little joint, but it is fundamentally weak. Don't use it anywhere where it might come under strain.

I'm not sure about that. It's typically used for the top of display cabinets, etc. But, it's a mortise and tenon at it's core, just like you'd use on a table. With thicker stock I'd bet it's just as strong under load. It would be interesting to test it. I think I'll do a video on that! Thanks!

@@TenonsTenors The difference between it and the M&Ts used for a table is that they (the latter) aren't all concentrated within one stock width of the end of stock. If they were, there would be stretchers. The times this joint is used in Japanese and Chinese cabinetry there will always be another connection between the verticals lower down so that this top joint isn't strained. As I said........nice, decorative joint, but it wouldn't withstand any substantial racking forces. I look forward to seeing your test!

@@MikeAG333 Yes, you're correct. This joint would never be used by itself,... not sure why you thought I was implying that. It would always be used in tandom with stretchers. Cheers!

@@TenonsTenors No, no, I wasn't suggesting that you'd implied anything of the sort. It's just that some of your viewers may not be aware of this joints limitations. My comment was addressed more at those people than at you.

Not sure why, the video plays fine on this side and on the devices of friends. Perhaps try reloading the video?

Great content, terrible audio though.

Yeah, I'm having trouble sorting the audio out. Thanks for watching though and for the feedback!
