Making Mortises

There's no great secret to cutting the stopped mortises ' used in this project. Since the dawn of the 20th century, advances in power tools have made the process a whole lot easier. The original Arts & Crafts builders would have bored out most of the mortise with a bit and brace, then finished the cuts with finely sharpened chisels. Now there is a new generation of easy-to-use mortising machines. When I counted the number of mortises in each chair and multiplied by four, I decided my shop could finally afford one of these timesaving machines. Perhaps there is a new mortising machine in your future.
