A mortise and tenon (occasionally mortice and tenon) joint connects two pieces of wood or other material.

Mortise and tenon joints are strong and stable joints that can be used in many projects.
- Cutting Mortises. The “mortise” is the recess where the tenon goes. It can be cut by hand with a mallet and mortising chisel, or mechanically with a mortising machine and a hollow chisel bit.
- Mark the Cut. Make the marks on your workpiece with a pencil or marking gauge. Pro tip: Shade the areas of waste that must be removed. This will help eliminate mistakes.
- Hog Out Material. Use a forstner bit on a drill press to drill a series of holes to remove the majority of the waste.
- Clean the Mortise with a Chisel. With a wide bench chisel, clean up the sides of the mortise. Don’t try to remove all the waste at once. Take small cuts. Use a narrow chisel to square up the ends of the mortise.
