I'm no different than anyone else, maybe even a bit below average. Make a mortise-and-tenon joint whenever you can, and you'll see definite progress.

I wish I could saw like this - I'm far below that level. (I'm improving, however). Thanks for the tip with the Crown/Finn saw - they are really pretty. But I should really stop ordering new tools every week and get some furniture done instead. Cheers, Michael Hi Brian,

I'm mostly doing it to keep the whole structure from twisting around, but even this is probably overkill. If the dado were stopped on both sides, it would provide the same function. If the tenon were a bit longer, it could also provide a little glue strength, but this one probably doesn't have enough face-to-face contact for that. I may not use this variant on later iterations. Since this is a prototype, I'm seeing how it works out in actual use. Hi Jay, no, it’s not at all necessary, especially if you use fasteners through the other side (I’m not).
