Mortise and Tenon collection

[TIG]

b. That is something like a dovetail-tenon, but it has an added partial half-lap component so that the dovetail is hidden - making it look like a weak half-lap that could be pulled out, whilst inside it's stronger, with the dovetail that locks itself in ?

It might be a bit stronger but if glue is used, the joint is probably more work than it is worth. The glue will be stronger than the wood anyway.

Personally I'll go with the unlisted joint and probably forget what I was going to

You can do that in Colorado.

Sorry, I've replaced it.

Nice collection. I have never made puzzle joints like this mortise and tenon, but it would be a fun challenge

Thank you. Although I am not likely to use them, my partner was very interested as he's studying carpentry.

Well for my next project I will need to find a way to add that joint into the design. I have a Japanese double mortise chisel that will be perfect to chop the motices. This will be fun on the bench.
