Fox tenon tips
Building a bed for my 6-month-old, who will soon have outgrown his crib.
I'm thinking of trying to use "fox tenon" joints, whereby a couple of slots are cut in the tenon, small wedges are placed in the slots, and as the tenon is driven into the mortise, the tenon expands, giving a very tight fit indeed. As I understand it, if you make the wedges too long, the tenon shoulders won't reach the piece with the mortise, and you'll never get the thing out. You only get one chance to get it right. I've never done anything like this before. Any tips? I'm intending to use beech, if it makes any difference. - Bernie |
