Just finished my first 16 mortises EVER. Followed the procedure exactly. Marc, you would be proud at how they came out! Thanks for the millionth time.

Best of the best video. There can be no better way to keep it this simple, yet informative. The video angles are great. I’m a beginner to use a router but gained confidence after watching your video. Thanks for sharing the tutorial.

Wow, Mark, thanks for sharing this great tutorial on making quick and easy mortises! I've always found mortising to be a time-consuming and fiddly process, but your technique using a plunge router and a simple jig looks like a game-changer. Your step-by-step instructions are clear and easy to follow, and I appreciate the close-up shots that show exactly how to position the router for each cut. I'm excited to try out this method on my next project and see how much time and frustration it saves me. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to watching more of your videos!

Perfect. That was just what i was searching for. For me it looks more logical to drill the endpoint first and then the start, so you can continue right away.

Nice video and description! Thanks! Your videos, as well as others have inspired me to try my hand at my woodworking hobby. Starting with nothing and working my way up was intimidating, but the KZread community helped me gather the courage to try! Subscribed! Thanks for all the wonderful info!

Very helpful. The advice about moving the Router away from one is good. I've been doing it the other way..and losing control. Thanks. this is a very clear video.

Thanx! You remain incredibly composed & articulate. Keep up the good work!

Just bought my first Bosch router and this video has really help.

Thanks for the vid. The acronym was awesome! Don't think I'll ever forget LTBD

You are amazing at explaining the process so it is easy to understand. I have been avoiding making mortises...I may give it a go now. Thank you!

A while back I purchased a router guide (CRB7 by MPower Tools) and mortises have been an absolute breeze ever since. It is one of the best tools I have ever purchased. I have no affiliation with them but just love the tool so I'm spreading the word. It sure made my life easier.

Your instructions are clear, explanations helpful and examples very helpful. Thanks a lot , will be practising this today.

Finally a simple explanation and thanks for that. I think this is the simplest way and had already tried everything before. Cool.

Great tips for mortising without needing to make a jig. I like the suggestion to rout full depth on each end so you can feel the edges.

Love how simple you made it. Especially the repeated mortises with the start and ends

Mark, Thank you for what you do! I just finished cutting 32 mortises. My first! and they look good. But I must admit I marked the layout for all 32. OK, I got carried away. Each mortise was 2-1/4 X 1-1/4. I used a template and drilled them out first. I guess if I had a spiral bit I could have skipped the drilling. I hope you do tenons next. Please.

Thanks, Marc. I still have to bang mine out with mallet and chisel, but whether using a plunge router, hollow chisel mortiser, or whatever, the "L" part is probably the most critical. If your layout is off then it'll show in your project. Thanks for sharing these tips!

some times we forget...the simpler methods.....thank you for reminding me.....cheers mate

Great video and description of the process! Thank you!

Love when I watch a video and they're using the exact tools I have. Probably because I know if I mess it up then it's my fault, not the tool's.

Once again. Awesome thanks. Always learning. Thanks for the tips.

I was seriously considering a mortise machine but I watched another video you did on mortises 16 years ago. You covered both ways but this seems easier and a lot cheaper. TY!

Yes I was watching the video and I think that my mind was so preprogramed that there was going to be a tenon part that It came like a shock when I was seeind that the video was coming to an end...hope you have the time to do an easy tenons too. Thank you stlll for this video...greetings from Canay Island.

thanks for the instructional vids Mark, missed them :)

Thanks so much for taking the time to share this awesome tip , much appreciated ,

Nice! Straight to the point instructional video without the special effects and bullshit. Therefore, I will stay as a subscriber.

your video is great for someone like me who doesn't have professional tools. I'm inspired to try making the mortises and tenons on the door I am building.

Thanks Mark, now I finally have a use for the turret control on my router...

Brother is feeling very good. I really needed this video

This is a gem. Great points.

Man, thank you so much!!!! Amazing tip👊💪👍

Must mortise videos don't go into detail and this one did. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for the video. This is exactly what needed

Thank you very much for this video I really learned how to make a mortising... very helpful

May I ask where you got your ruler stop? The brass one with lettering on it. Thank you.

Great demonstration, Thanks

I'd recommend getting an extra guide fence and using the pair to prevent any sideways drift by running one on each side of the work , been using a double fence on my trusty GOF 1700 to rout locks in doors for thirty years now , takes maybe a minute as opposed to the dinosaurs that still drill and chisel them in ... :-)

Thank you, well done video and right to the point.

Ahaha, "La-Tah-Bah-Dah", made me spit out my coffee 🤣

Gotit. Lieutenant Bondage and Degredation! Perfect! I'll never forget that now.

Thanks brother your teachings are unique , understandable.

Brilliant! Thanks so much for sharing

Such an easy to pronounce acronym! haha. Good note on using one hand at the bottom of the base. I've done that and it does feel like it gives me some more control. - Jim

Great video, thanks for sharing it.

Great video and information Mark.

NICE WORK.. ENJOYED IT VERY MUCH

Hi, Does anyone know where I could purchase the adjustable square t with the longish ruler stop used in this very informative video please ?

what is the measuring device that you used in te beginning called? I need that thing!

Awesome job 😎

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I've been struggling with a mortice attachment on a pillar drill with no success at all.

just found this. Thank you for explain that and showing how it is not that difficult to do.

Excellent tutorial.

I'll name my son Lutibbuduh.

Muito bom, ótima dica

Thanks for your presentation

Great video, I am looking forward to graduating to this type of joinery very soon in my DIY lifestyle. Just so you know an acronym is an abbreviation that spells something readable. For example, DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) 4 letters that mean different things, an abbreviation, that also spells out a word which makes it also an acronym.

Hey John. That's the whole point of the joke. Did you notice that I actually "pronounced" it as a word? I do know the difference between acronyms and initialisms.

I like that sound LTBD 😂 , I even got it memorized now

Thank you! 👍

Thanks , Master . Hello from Panama.

This Video exemplifies exactly why I Love You. That is all.

Great video!! Thank you!

great helpful video, what are the two squares you were using?

Hi are used to do this years ago all of the mortises for mortise and tenant joint and sometimes for locks but a better way to do it is actually buy a second fence and make sure the rods are long enough and put the second fence on the other side that way you can centralise the router. And it will stop it from cracking on wondering off-line and if you're coming to the end of a piece of wood it is best to put another piece of wood the same thickness but up against the end so you can run through it further without the router dropping off the end. And I hope you're wearing a dust mask a defenders and I protection I'm sorry to go on a bit but I'm 68 years old retired living in France in lockdown ,. 17 April 2020. Anyway keep up the good work. Regards Phil from the Moulin in France

Could you make a video tutorial on the Bosch router? It would certainly help me out and other new woodworkers. Thanks.

I just use a Mor-tend jig. This has been serving me well for over 10 years and is almost fool proof and I have made many pieces of furniture with it. It takes about 3 minutes to make the mortise.

Beautiful absolutely beautiful

Hi Mark what are your thoughts about the Leigh mortise and tenon jig ? Have you used it ? If yes can you share with your experience? Thank you

If the mortise needs to be central, it's good practise to route from both sides. You don't to do many to make it worthwhile making a stabilising jig to help with the tipping problem, side to side and particularly over the end.

Thx for sharing. Cheers from Poland

Awesome tips..⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

How can you make this work using a router that doesn't move like your? Do you need to repeat the process many times?

Awesome, thanks for sharing! Is the router your preferred method for mortises, as opposed to a mortiser?

TFSBDYR!...(Thanks For Sharing Big Daddy You Rock!) LOL! Thanks for the tip on plunging to max depth on the starting and ending cuts! Have A Super Week!.....*Gus*

Regarding the image on wood over your left shoulder, have you done a video on how you made that? If not, will you?

Also: Look Twice Before Drilling. Nice, quick video!

Do you have a link that you can share where you got the apron from that you're wearing? Thanks

Loved it!!! SO simple yet,...simple. Thanks

Hello, at :30 of this video, where can one find the sliding engineer square, please?
