How to Make a Hand-Cut Mortise and Tenon Joint

I came across a very excellent primer at In the Woodshop on how to make a hand-cut mortise and tenon joint. Even if you have no intention of making mortise and tenon joints, the tutorial offers many tips and tricks that can be applied to other areas of woodworking.

The write-up is choc-full of clear images, thorough explanations, and useful information, and it moves along quickly and smoothly.
