I have already ordered a custom made stamping iron today. Thank you for your reply.

Hello, I am asking just out of curiosity. Today many people have special wood-burning stamps for their branding on furniture. However, on older furniture, I have seen many times the name of the manufacturer, which has been punched. Is this done by punching individual letters that are...

Thank you Jacob, A lot of useful information for me. Such tips should have its own book, or at least an article.

Thank you Adam. Very nice build and carving. I am planning to visit some museums to observe antique furniture, but we have a lockdown here, so everything is closed. Maybe in summer it will be better. We have also a lot of historical churches here, so I can also observe how the 500 year old pews...

Thank you Robin, The information you provided tells me to what proportion the wood will shrink and in which direction. I know that the wood will shrink across the width of the board and it may twist. My original question was more about: 1. What needs to be done with the joinery to take this...

Hello, I have seen many movements in my life so far. Political movements, civil rights movements, orchestral concerto movements, etc. But I would like to talk about the most elusive of them. The wood movement. Rules for wood movement are like Colombo's wife to me. I have read about wood...

Hi, no I do not wear spectacles. But as I work at the computer the whole day, in a few years, I might have to.

Sure, we were talking about the last finishing touch of the hand router, not for the whole procedure. I have used a chisel to remove the material along the grain, as the grain is straight and tenon saw across the grain. But as Jacob said, my goal is to get it right from the saw and save time.

Thank you Jacob, I will practise my sawing technique. I have a lot of scrap wood laying around. Once I am confident, I will continue cutting tenons straight of the saw.

Jacob, That is right, ideally it would be the best to cut straight from the saw. But I am afraid to cut past the line, so I cut 1 - 1.5 mm away from the line. I need to correctly estimate the kerf width. But my goal is to be able cut tenons straight from the saw.

I did it, but it was still not enough.

Yes, for normal tenons, I would definitely use the router. I have used it for dados in the past, so I have a little experience.

Also I would like to tell, that I am using blunt chisel (Bill Carter's technique) and it work really well...

Hey Mark, I am like 3 - 4 hours from Budapest. I have already managed to get it done, but thank you for your kindness.

I am sorry, but I do not have a band saw, so I need to rely on the tenon saw instead.

I have tried Veritas router today, but it cannot reach 50 mm deep to clean the top side of the tenon on my stretcher. However after some trying, I have managed to get it decently square with just a chisel.

When I made this tenon (actually it does not look like a real tenon, it is just an L-shaped offcut) I have sawn across the grain and split with the chisel along the grain. My problem is that I am afraid to go past the line with the saw, so I saw away from the line 1 or 2 mm and then pare with...

Thank you, Jacob, I have started with the smallest components (short stretchers), then I will make long stretchers and then I will make legs, where the mortices will be. I need to chop only two mortices per leg. I can make them slightly smaller and then adjust the tenons to fit in. But I need...

Thank you. I am using the wheel marking gauge. But I have a homemade cutting gauge as well. I need to go 40 mm down on one side and 50 mm on the other and I am not sure if my Veritas router plane can go that deep. I must try it out.

The board is 40 mm thick, so I have only 2 mm missing. But I am able to buy a 50 mm chisel, if it would make a significant difference.
