Bench with Asian Flair.

I'll demonstrate a simple template-guide jig for the mortises, and time-tested methods for making tenons to fit. Quick, accurate mortises with a router There are 40 mortises of four different lengths in this bench, but you can simplify the process using two easy-to-make jigs. Angled armrests are a fun challenge Making the armrests is tricky, due to the angled tenon that fits into the rear leg mortise. Next, bring the arms to the tenoning jig, lay the 9º angle flat on the table, clamp it into the jig, and cut the tenons. [Extracted from the article]
