He is doing the dado cut on the tenon with the wood against the fence. I thought thats a no no.
If he was cutting it off, then yes - A Big "No! No!" Notice he's using the saw fence as a stop, there's a backer fence on the miter gauge, he's cutting the shoulder cut first, then pulling the piece away from the saw's fence to make the final, un-trapped, trim cut.
Well spotted. That also set the alarm bells ringing in my head. Matt is also seen adjusting tendon cheeks with a shoulder plane. I use a router plane on the cheeks. Guaranteed equal amounts on either side with little chance of tapering.
I is there a separate, detailed plan available other than the magazine pages schematic?
If you're an unlimited member, they should be in the plan library or you can get them here:
