Meatwad Posted August 14, 2022 Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 So I was working on this mortise and tenon for a table and I didn't know it but my shoulder plane blade wasn't square. This resulted in me putting a big taper on some of my tenons. I'm thinking about just redoing the whole pieces but I saw some tips on youtube about finding a shim and glueing that to the tenon to build it up and shave it back down again. Any other ideas anybody's used in this situation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted August 14, 2022 Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 Shim (shop cut veneer) is what I would do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhighlander Posted August 14, 2022 Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 I have glued stock back onto an undersized tenon before. Works fine. Alternatively, cut the tenon off and mortise in a floating tenon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
