Chris -
I recommend you do a Google search (DAGS), use "mortise and tenon" or
"mortise" or "tenon". You'll get a ton of good information.

Two sites I found helpful recently a
http://www.geoffswoodowrk.co.uk/mortise01.htm and

I understand that the mortise and tenon should not generally be thicker
than
1/3 the width of the piece. Does this also apply to the top and bottom
shoulders of the tenon?

In other words, if the the stretcher or stile is 1.5" thick, the tenon
should not be an thicker than .5". What is the limitaton on height of the
tenon? Any?
