This is the first episode of a very excitingly elegant project, a floor lamp made from quarter-sawn oak. This project may look complicated because of the splayed legs with angled shoulders and mortise and tenon joints, but the processes for making the two joint types are simple and effective. Working through the project you begin to see how it’s the joinery that results in the harmony and composition of the piece.

Hi, can you please tell me what are the face of the mortise guide made of, where the chisel leans on?
Than yellow plate…?
I can’t find that information anywhere.
Thank you, kind regards.

Thanks ๐
Paul’s got the quarantine hair going ๐
Shouldn’t the mortise hole be angled?
Hi,
Paul says:
Slightly, yes. Not an exact angle though. It doesnโt matter.
