Cutting Tenons
«

Hi Everybody, I am cutting the tenons for my sign now. My mortise' are already in place, where do I measure from to get the right length to cut the brace? I'm sure this is a stupid question but if I don't ask, I won't ever know. Here is a pic of a tenon I made today, is this OK? It is, just a sign post but what about that knot in the tenon?

Most tenons are at least 2" thick and if I recall correctly they should be within a 1/4" of the bottom of the mortise and the pin centered on the tenon.
Dont quote me on that though as I am sure the tenon size will change based on the timber size.

WB, you are very precise in your sawing. I would probably just use a chainsaw.
