1 Establish exactly where the joint is to be made, and use the try square to draw square lines right around the wood.

2 Set the two pins of the mortise gauge at exactly one-third and two-thirds of the width of the wood.

3 Working from the face side on both pieces, mark the guidelines for the mortise hole and the tenon cut. Draw in these lines with a pencil point.

4 A drill press can be used at this stage to drill out the bulk of the mortise hole. Use a drill bit about 1/32 in. (1 mm) narrower than the hole should be. If you do not have access to a drill press, fix the wood firmly in a bench vise and drill out the hole with a hand-held electric drill, making every effort to ensure that the drill is vertical to the wood.
