Where this Chisel is Going, It Won’t Need Roads

As posturepedic as having the leg tenons poking an inch out of the seat, I think it will feel better and look better once I have pared them flush to the seat. On the center leg this isn’t a major deal because the pommel creates a convex curve, but the back tenons fall into the scooped out area. Certainly if you have some carving gouges you can tackle them with those, but I find that a regular old bench chisel used bevel down and quickly and precisely pare them flush and beautiful.

RWW Live Next Week

Tune in to my YouTube channel next Wednesday, February 1st at 6 PM EST for a special Joinery Roulette. I will cut a joint of your choice and discuss how I do it and anything you want about it. Suggest a joint in the comments below, feel free to try to stump me or just suggest something that might actually get used in a future project.

Enjoyed the video and chiseling tips. I vote for a rising dovetail with emphasis on determining how deep to cut the back side of the mortise so that the tenon will slid in tight.

    Good pick Royce. I have cut that one a few times in demonstrations for my apprentices in The Hand Tool School. Its a fun joint to execute. I’ll add it to the list for consideration.

Hi:
I was watching you sawing and coping and for some reason I notice your workbench Top. I notice you have one row of holes close to the front edge and they are your Dog Holes. I also notice you were using a Hold Fast. What I did not see was a lot of holes for your Hold Fast. I have a couple of Hold Fast, but I have never drilled any holes. I have never figured out where they should.be. I have seen other benches with rows of holes and thought all those holes were not needed. Is there a reason where and why you placed the holes on your bench like you did and if you were to do it again what would you change?
Thank You
