Half-blind Boxed Tennon joint. Commonly known as the Pask Joint. Beautiful, yet simple joint you came up with. I've never seen anything like it. This is why I love your content.
I'm late to the party, but this is a very 'Art Deco' looking result. There was a French furniture designed called Eugène Printz who made geometric Deco cabinets - I think if this joint had been around, he would have used it, so similar it is to his style. If you're looking for alliteration, you could call it the 'Pask Printz Joint' so it ties in with the Deco style - or simply the 'Pask Deco Joint'.
I have done some woodworks in the past but this woodwork plan ru-vid.comUgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR9TG helps me do much in a far lesser time than i used to do i have already built several projects with this plan and i intend to do many more soon. Thank you so much!
Yet another vote for calling it the "Pask Joint"! Seriously, unless you can find it in an old book about joinery, I think you invented it and therefore it deserves your name. Great video, Neil!
I love this "Encased Finger Joint" or "PASK joint". Loads more glue surface than a typical finger joint. This should be one strong joint when used in strong woods. And, it looks great too! Nicely done.
That's what I love about these videos. You have a problem with the mortising bit and you come up with a quick solution. It's just like any problem you see can be solved with a good bit of thought and elbow grease. Very cool
A great contribution, the "Pask Joint". I think your competence has allowed you to underestimate the time to build the jigs & actually execute the joint.
I have been into woodworking videos and into woodworking it self for quite some time now. And your content besides beeing briliant is just so... fresh. Thank you.
I was going to suggest "Squared Knapp Joint", but since it appears to be the first of its kind, the inventor must get credit. Pask Joint it is! I'm going to make some.
it's never too late for a comment... "...this one's my first test peace, it's not particullarly good..." WHAT IS THIS MANIAC TALKIN' ABOUT??? A brilliant peace of both work and art!!!
I at first thought a "Pask Joint", which I see many others have as well, but it then occurred to me that ye might go for inventing more joints in the future. So now I'm thinking maybe a "Pask Box Joint"? It seems kinda like a relative of a box joint, with a very high-end look! I could see that being made use of in some beautiful furniture.
Welcome to the "Pask Makes Wierd Joinery" channel where every week we upload a crazy new/old dovetail alternative. So grab your tightbond and a chisel and stick around to see what bizarre tools we invent just to make these joints! Next week we'll be trying a "French braid" using nothing but scissors and hairspray.

Neil. I agree with the many other comments. This should be known as the Pask Joint or as someone else coined, the Pask box joint. Fantastic as always. Thank you.
I believe it’s a “through tongue and rabbet joint”. I’ll have to dig out my copy of the “Encyclopedia of Furniture Making“, though your approach to mortising is unique.
I cut my teeth on Joyce, and I recall nothing there about this. Quite content to christen it Pask Joint! Highly inventive, this fellow; not only that, but he really can make it happen!
I have a drill press mortising attachment that takes this type of bit. You were correct to give the inner bit the clearance you did. I love this joint and will try it sometime. This is your design so it should bear your name. Cheers!
Dude I do the same thing to get to a measurement I want. I push it up against the blade while it's not spinning! I've never seen anyone else do that. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one!!
There seems to be a concensus which coincides with my choice; let it be the Pask joint - everyone's going to call it that anyway - it may as well be official
Great video as usual! Having been fortunate enough (after many years of pining for one) to find an affordable mortiser on Craigslist, this is now going to be my “go to” method of drawer construction. Thanks for introducing us to the “Pask Joint”!!
This is a great joint. It will save me time and frustrations. Mistakes are a problem with me so those dovetails can take a hike. I have a name for it. MINE
I admire your practical approaches which mirrors my own take on woodworking. Not being into hero worship, I would call the joint a "square-tail joint". Even so, I couldn't possibly take anything away from your creative persistence. Good job and a good education for those who are technically challenged.
Love it! Thanks for another awesome video. You've become a leading source of inspiration for my work, and I've been humbled by your level of patience and detail.
I would love to see a piece of furniture (drawer, maybe ?) using each of your custom joint! It would look so cool and make a great conversation starter ;)
Hi, I have a mortiser and use it on a lot of my projects, you are right when you say the drill bit needs room to move and not tight to the chisel. There should be between a 1/8 and 3/16th's of an inch space according to my Mortise manual.
Awesome! Hey another simple idea for making the template... just cut a bunch of 1/4 & 3/8 inch wide strips plywood, mdf, etc. and glue up the strips like a cutting board, 1/4 followed by 3/8, followed by 1/4 and so on, then just leave a 3/8 gap in your 3/8 strips and you’ll create your template with a row of square holes. Another idea is to cut a simple box/ finger joint using a quick box joint jig with 3/8 in cuts, 3/8 inch deep every 1/4 inch.. so the box joint fingers are 1/4 inch... after you cut your box joint, then just glue a 1/4 inch piece of wood across the top of your box/ finger joint and you’ll have an evenly spaced, row of nice square holes to use for your template.
It's called a multiple through-mortise-and-tenon joint (in this case half-blind). It's used a lot in modern Danish cabinetry for the carcases of chests of drawers and bookcases in which the shelves are non-adjustable (where the shelves are joined to the sides of the case by means of the multiple through-mortise-and-tenon joints). It's rare to see this joint in place of a dovetail, possibly because the short-grain from the forward edges of the mortises to the end of the board would likely weaken and crack over time. That is probably also the weakness of the Knapp joint. (It would be interesting to see how Knapp joints in furniture have aged over a long time period.) The multiple through-mortise-and-tenon joint is generally found in the middle of the boards that are so mortised. If the boards are thick, the sides of the mortises are banked (dovetailed) and the tenons kerfed on their ends, with wedges driven into the kerfs to dovetail the tenons immovably in the mortises.
Thank very much for that. I've seen through tenons in the middle of a board but I've not seen them used in this way (and not half blind). I've searched and searched for an example and I haven't found anything but I'm positive it would exist somewhere. From what I've found out about Knapp Joints, they have stood up extremely well and as you probably know they are all over a hundred years old. I don't see the short grain from the forward edges cracking easily. They are well supported by the rest of the joint and would require some serious racking, but I suppose only time will tell. :)
@@PaskMakes Thanks. You're probably right that this joint hasn't been used as a dovetail substitute and that you're the first to use it this way. And also you're right again about the support in the Knapp joint (looking again at the Knapp/pin & cove joint, I see that the cove board side is strengthened against racking by support from the pin board side). I suppose also that in a hardwood like American sycamore with high splitting resistance there would be no endgrain splitting in the short grain sections of the Pask joint.
" half blind multiple through-mortise-and-tenon joint"... it doesn't roll off the tongue quite as easily as Pask Joint tho does it? ;) Hell, he re-invented it, he should get to name it.
a long time I was figuring out how to use that tool without using a special tool. now I also ask again why did not occur to me, lol. Thank sir, you've helped me.. im from Indonesian
Very nice! 💝☀🌵 p.s. thanks for all you do! That trick with the mortising bit will save me a ton of money! Another great hack. Don't let those armchair woodworkers get you down. Those jigs make it possible for beginners like me to have any hope making these projects.
I would call it the “you-have-too-much-time-on-your-hands-but-perfect” joint. Or, seeing that I’m from the future, the “COVID-lockdown” joint seems more apt. Love it!!
This looks really lovely and I think would be great for decoration on a box. You could even leave them proud and add bevels to them to make a kind of point. Might look cool.
The benefit over a finger joint is that it can be a blind joist so the there is no interpretation of the drawer face. However, if you wanted a hidden joint maybe one where the front and side are held and secured while holes are drilled and dowels are inserted. Should be quick, strong, hidden, and much simpler to setup and perform.
This is such a good looking joint. I must try getting some mortising bits and giving your set up a try. I'm going to make the stop leg so it goes either side of the drill colomb with plenty of slack then put studding in from each side to locate and finely adjust it . Great video thanks
Great looking joint. I hope that new Makers Mob doesn't change you or your content. I used to follow most of them other guys until money became their god. I really look forward to the stuff you put on here.
Thanks Hugh! Rest assured my channel will be staying the same as long as I keep thinking of new projects. We all have to make a living though so unfortunately money is important. :)
Great work Pask Makes. At the end ( 14:47 min) when you compared the two joints I got an idea, maybe you can do another joint; combine the square pegs with the round pegs (the Knapp Joint) so the Knapp Joint lose the scallops. So make the Knapp Joint without the scallop, this way you don't need the square chisel bit and the complicated scallops ? Hope you have the time to make it ! Thanks.
Thanks Mark! That is a known joint and you should be able to find examples with a search. It's easier than the scallops but even though it looks good it isn't as striking as the other two joints. I do still like it though. I was going to include it in my last video but it was getting too long. :)
Thanks @@PaskMakes. It should be fast to make the scallop-less Knapp Joint; you already have the toll to make the pegs and the template to make the hole :)
If I use this I will refer to it as a Pask joint, and I will encourage others to do the same. I might try this soon, apart from the morticing bit and the home made jigs I have everything I need, including some woods with contrasting colours.
I guess it's a half blind box tenon joint. I think if you dont go full depth with the mortise you might be able to make it full blind for a very clean look
