The Morley Mortiser
This shop made mortising jig was originally designed by Philip Morley. This jig is easy to make, easy to use and is the perfect DIY tool to make clean, precise and repeatable mortises every time. The Morley Mortiser creates mortises for loose tenons to join parts together in multiple applications and angles. Don't want to start from scratch?

Intermediate Project
This project contains several basic and intermediate woodworking techniques, includes multiple parts and hardware, and requires the use of some machines and hand tools.
Sliding Top
Using a centering block, the center of the mortise can easily be aligned with the sliding top.
Sturdy Base
