“Garage Woodworks’ Horizontal Mortiser”
Poplar & Birch Plywood Jig.
I’ve been watching Brian Grella from Garage Woodworks for several years on Youtube, and I fell in love with his loose tenon joinery. It is a quick and easy way to construct fine furniture, and it provides a super strong joint that looks amazing. I’d been watching him use his mortiser, and I’ve wanting to build it for a long time. Finally, this fall, I ordered the plans and started the build. It is not easy, and I had to send Brian several questions–which he answered immediately, but after several challenging weekends in the shop, I finally finished the project. I’m anxious to give it a try it out and build my first loose tenon furniture. If you are interested in building this mortising machine check out Brian Grella’s page http://www.garagewoodworks.com/GW_Store.php
He’ll help you along every step of the way if you have questions. It is a challenge to build and precision is the key, but the effort will be worth it when you can make quick easy loose tenon joints for your fine furniture builds.
