Bridle Joint on the Band Saw 

Bandsaw Bridle (Open Mortise and Tenon) Joint *
Watch as I show you how to cut bridle joints (open mortise and tenon joints) on the bandsaw.
Bandsawn bridle joints can be cut effortlessly with the help of a very simple aid. I'll show you this in action, allowing you to make multiple joints all with one fence setting.
For the 'perfect' joint, I knife the joint lines, and finish the joint shoulders by paring with a chisel. However, a very nice joint is achievable straight off a well tuned bandsaw with a good blade.
See my series 'Bandsaw Know How', and learn how to tune your bandsaw before you try this joint:
