Mark,

Actually I have the Miller book and had referenced it a lot while I made my
test chair. However since I simplified the M/T on the test chair by
angleing the faces of the legs, I didn't have a need for the router jig. I
could easily make simple angle tenons with the table saw/dado. I had
forgotten about the compound angle discussion in the book and the router
jig.

It looks like I now need to decide whether I want to use a router jig for
compound angle tenons into perpendicular leg mortises, or loose tenons into
mortises angled to be in-line with the rails. Any thoughts on the matter?

Thanks,
Bob


Loose tenon would be the way I'd go. Blow a tenon cut and you may
have
to make another complete part. Blow a loose tenon and you just
make another - much lower risk. And you can use some of those
hardwood scraps you've been saving Two birds - one stone.
