I never said to make a "sloppy joint". But "as tight as you can make
them"? I take that to mean you'd make a glued M&T so tight you have to
"persuade" it together. If by "as tight.." you meant, PROPERLY snug,
then we are in agreement.

A tight joint in my book is as perfect a fit as one can get, that is not
a
force fit..

A loose tenon in my book is a sloppy or ill fitting joint and that is
what
this thread is about isn't it?

No, actually, it isn't. It was a discussion of the loose tenon method
of joinery employed by David Marks. Loose tenon, as in two mortises
and a separate tenon glued into each. I suspect that you're not so
completely dense as to have missed that and are just being your usual
obtuse self.

obviously CW and David disagree....

And rightly so. You're the one who's screwed up

Being my usual Obtuse self, I read the original post by Stoutman, perhaps
you should also . There is no mention of the method of constuction, just
that they are loose tenons

..Even though I have never seen David Mark's program let alone ever heard of
him . So what would a brilliant person like yourself by name a loose tenon
might be ? surely not a lousy fitting tenon.....mjh
