Mortise and Tenon

Last Saturday, I worked again with Dr. Huminski in his workshop. We finished planing all the wood and I built my first mortise and tenon joint. This is a technique used to join two pieces of wood using a square hole. Another way to join two pieces of wood is by using the biscuit method, but the mortise and tenon joint is usually stronger. It took over an hour to create just two mortise and tenon joints so it can be a long process, especially for a beginner. The time is worth the quality though. I took some pictures during my time at the workshop, but I am having trouble uploading them onto the blog. Hopefully, I will be able to put them up soon.
