Dan, Looks like a good article. I'm snagging the PDF file now.  :)

so arts and crafts design doesn't incorporate raised panels?

I can't say that there wasn't any Arts and Crafts furniture built with raised panels, but certainly the furniture that came to define the style was built with flat panels - usually just a 1/4" thick board in a 1/4" groove. A lot of Shaker furniture is built the same way. I am partial to that technique, because it allows me to resaw a 4/4 board into two bookmatched panels. A thicker panel in a bed is probably a good idea, given the abuse that it's liable to receive ;)

I make a jig to match the tenion I'm making a mortise for, then drill out most of the waste with a forsner bit, then I use a pattern bit in my plunge router to follow the template and a chisel to square up the corners.  Last I split the tenion on a table saw, and use a wedge to assemble the joint. After sanding flush, they look and feel perfect without a lot of effort.

Marcel, they are not very expensive to begin with. Around $110 from Lee's and Canadian Tire sells a Master Craft that would be warranted if it broke, probably cheaper. I have heard various reports using these things, many are not really satisfied especially with the harder woods. They say not to force the work, sounds like it can be slow, but probably no slower than hand chiseled. You just have to watch what brand of press you get to be sure it can be attached. I would much prefer a mortising machine. ;D
