MORTISING THE DOOR COMPONENTS

In this video, I’ll show you the quick, accurate way to cut a mortise. While it’s perfectly ok to do this with just a chisel and mallet, it’s quite often quicker to drill the waste out first. Especially on small, delicate components like this that won’t take repeated beating very well!

LESSON OBJECTIVES

    - How to layout the mortices
    - How to cut the mortices
    - How to refine the mortices
    - How to diagnose and prevent problems
