6-13
For mortises and tenons shorter than the guide, reverse the
calculation:
Guide, minus Joint, divided by 2
.
Example: you may want a 1"[25mm] joint
➀
using 2"[50mm] guide
➁
.
So, 2" - 1"
÷
2 =
1
⁄
2
[50mm - 25mm
÷
2 = 12,5mm].
Make a block
1
⁄
2
"[12,5mm].
You will also need a short length of
3
⁄
16
"[5mm] dowel
➂
to act as a guard when routing the mortises.

is exactly the same as for longer tenons
setup,
except when you come to rout
