Timberframe spline joint: how to make a complex and strong Japanese spline joint (Woodworking ASMR)

White ash 1 1/4" Checking for twist with winding sticks Shooting one edge marking thickness Bringing it down to the line giving some shape making peg holes Every timber gets planed clean first I like to plane towards the tree top if possible 9 TPI crosscut saw with practice, you can split a thin pencil line all around a timber with the sawcut Split roughly away from the line, then gently paring right up to it with a fine chisel 15 Degree paring chisel makes lovely work simple jig to transfer lines Whimble brace is an awesome tool, half the effort of normal brace a nice hand tight fit waxing the end grain is a good idea, especially on long projects Working on the post Best to make peg holes first, if they go through a mortise, then make the mortise The more you bore, the less you chisel! I like having these spaces in the bench top. Its just so nice to have such small timbers, I can bring most of them into the shop when its bad outside. Chiseling out the housing is the most difficult part. The gap at the end of the spline mortise is to provide movement when tightening. Now just 3 more to do!
