Mortise & Tenon, Biscuits, or Pocket Holes? | 6
Marc and Matt tackle a wide range of listener questions, starting with how to create the thick poured finish commonly seen on bar tops. Marc recommends a two-part epoxy-style finish and points listeners to Klockit for finishing supplies. They also cover large panel glue-ups, using biscuits for alignment, parallel clamps and cauls, and ways to joint stock when you don’t own a jointer.
A larger discussion compares mortise-and-tenon joinery with biscuits, pocket holes, and dowels, including where each method makes sense for a coffee table. They also explain how to avoid tearout when cutting tenons and work through the hand-tool skills worth learning first, including sharpening, chisels, block planes, card scrapers, and hand saws. The show wraps with tips for cutting detailed letter inlays on the scroll saw, plus a thank-you to listener Bob for sending a box of candy.
