This is my last installment on the Hand Tool Olympics. The mortise and tenon joint is a staple in furniture making and there are more ways to make it than I can count (yes I have all ten fingers). For the purpose of the olympic event the contestant will be asked to mark and cut a 1/2 thick by 3" long by 3" wide tenon. Let's take a look at this event and some tips to help you along the way.

Hand cutting dovetails seem to be the peak of hand skills. I labored under this impression for a long time until I just broke down and gave them a try. Honestly they are not that hard and I think we all psyche ourselves out too much. This week I will make some friends and make some enemies as I show my pins first disposition.

Time to take a look at the next event in the Woodworking In America Hand Tool Olympics. The brace and bit has been discarded over the years for more and more powerful cordless drills and drill presses. In my recent experience of building a Roubo bench I found my brace to be unmatched when dealing with large stock and really large holes. This is a great tool to become familar with and this event is just the push you need to become fast friends with your brace and bit.

Time to focus on the shooting event of the WIA Hand Tool Olympics. I consider this to be one of the tougher events in the line up. A good plane can flatten the edge but can you get it square to the face. I will discuss a couple techniques to do this depending on how the plane blade is sharpened. Ultimately the easiest way to true an edge is just to lean into the high side and the plane will take a heavier shaving on that side. Enjoy the show!

So you thought I would never get back to Roubo eh? For all of those skeptics out there, this episode is for you. As you all know I had built my legs several months ago as well as my stretchers and they have been sitting off in a corner of my shop feeling lonely and unloved. This week I pulled them out and beat the heck out of them by drilling 8 monstrous mortises and stuffing them with tenons the size of a trashy paperback book.
