    Thanks for posting this video. When it comes to making loose tenons is it necessary to round over the edges or can you leave them square? I've heard some people say that the strength comes from the face of the joint when it is glued up. Have you ever tested this and found this to be true? Thanks again! Excited to see more videos that you guys post.

  • @thewoodsmithstore

    Thanks for the question, its a good one. We feel you should round-over the tenons for full strength. The goal is to fill that void as if there's a real tenon sticking out. Now with that said, I am sure in most instances you may not have to since there is so much face surface. When compared to other joinery, like stub tenon, there is far more surface area that gets glued. Luckily, rounding the tenons is super easy with the right sized round-over bit. So, we would make the tenons fit snug if you can. Hope this helps!!

    nice , , clean but useless , that kind of lose tenon must be at lease 3+3" , 6" long to be solid , and that is not possible with that set up, use mortiser and do solid job , Personally, if I put lose tenon at exterior door i will fire my self because that is just half arse design for door that are exposed to elements
