An Ode To the Mighty Mortise and Tenon Joint
In woodwork’s sacred hall, where craftsmen dwell. They find a joint so strong, they all can tell, a mortise and tenon, A bond so tight, it’s forever true.

I write for two blogs, the “What’s on My Workbench Blog” is where I write about the furniture I build for myself and for my customers. This blog is where I write about the woodworking that falls behind the bench, or what goes on behind the scenes. The projects I build to improve my shop, the jigs I make to build the projects, and the tools I use.
In woodwork’s sacred hall, where craftsmen dwell. They find a joint so strong, they all can tell, a mortise and tenon, A bond so tight, it’s forever true.
