MULTIPLE JOINTS
5-46 Remember, mortises are routed the opposite way around to
their matching tenon, e.g. in this illustration the single tenon is to
the right
➀
, single mortise to the left
➁
. Keeping the reference faces
together on the finished joint will ensure that the mortises and tenons
will align
➂
. It’s much easier to clamp square section workpieces so do
not do any shaping of workpieces until after the joints are routed
