@ed I used the jig because it easily allows you to overlap the drilled holes and neatly hog more wood out. While I did have success paring waste with just drilling and push-paring in pine, any harder woods gets more dificult without overlapping the holes. And I found drilling the 5-6 overlapped holes was actually quicker than trying to guide the drill freehand, even with sliding the jig for each hole. I agree using a slightly smaller drill ( still looking for a 7/32 bushing) or slightly oversizing the tenon is the way to go. Then paring with paul’s Jig Would still be the same as if you were mortisng with a hammer and 1/4” chisel.
To answer your question, I had to host the image offsite to post it. The edit window still has the IMG button. Just tap on it and get prompted to insert the url. You do have to find your own place to host the image. I notice old posts are losing their images on the site anyway. I guess they are trying to pare down the server storage. Seems odd in the era of increasingly cheaper server storage. Perhaps the web is monetizing that, but the site is losing a valuable resource.
