I cut a bunch of tenons today on the frame timbers. No pictures, but some are 3" long and some 2". On 4" and 5" wide timber. Now I need that drill press to start the mortises.  :D I just drill between the scribed lines and use a mortise chisel to clean it out. Keeps things square. I also have a hooked mortise chisel to clean out the bottom.

A mortise attachment might be nice. I think people use them improperly. I think again you drill the holes with a bit and square the shoulders with a chisel and clean up with the mortiser. That's how I see it used in my shop manuals. Some people try to go pull bore cutting dense hardwood from the start. I see troubles doing that just by looking at the design of the bit.

This is what I was referring to:

There have a been a couple of other threads over the years where a guy was given a hard time about building too nice of an outhouse.  :)  In fact, I think one guy even built a really nice outhouse but I can't find the thread.

  I think the outhouse you are refering too is that one Chet built at his cabin  :o   smiley_daisy

I've seen member Pappy's Outhouse up in Soldier Pond by their cabin on the Fish River.
It is one super Outhouse and even has a heater in it. :)

But, weaving is a much warmer and drier occupation. :D
