In my last video I made a tapered mortise reamer, for this video I made a couple of tenon cutters to match it. I made two different styles, one easier to make than the other.
As always I'm happy to answer any questions.

Thank you for making these 2 videos. I will be making these reemer and tenon cutters. I am a full-time woodworker making antique reproduction furniture with an interest in making windsor chairs. Thanks from Kentucky, USA.
Dear Neil, thanks for showing me how to make and use the cutters. As it turned out, I did have a real need for something like this but didn’t have a clear idea how to go about it. Now I do thanks to you. All the best.
Thank you for this! I just made myself a tapered tenon cutter with your instructions - definitely needs some work, but I'm pleased. You made a difference - thanks again!
Love your work. The whole idea of making something form nothing ( or what others might have considered junk) is so appealing. Keep up the good work.
Great beveled tenon cutters. Surely more accurate, and quicker, than trying to do it all with a knife, draw knife, and spoke shave. Kudos!
I really enjoy all of your videos. You make it all look so simple which inspires me.
So as a set it's kinda like a tap and dye set for steel! Super cool!
ALWAYS worth watching your videos!! Great stuff.
What a joy to watch along, Mr. Skilled Toolmaker! :)
Looks like your tools work good! Thanks.
great work. i hope to be able to make and use something like this in the future
Brilliant work Neil. Great video mate
Great video Neil! Thanks for sharing it.😎👍JP
Port Orford cedar is the nicest wood I have ever worked with it doesn’t split, easy to cut and shape and weathers really well. The only drawback is the only place I know it grows is in Oregon.
I've had the Lee Valley tapered reamer and tenon cutters on order since early July this year, and they're now backordered into late November and December (after getting bumped out a month at a time until now, so no confidence they'll be shipped then either). I've got your two videos bookmarked and am thinking I need to find some metal to use for the reamer blade next. Trying to make some staked furniture a la The Anarchist's Design Book, and these two tools are critical to getting started. Thanks so much for putting these videos together!
I've had a blast watching all of your lovely videos! Great stuff
Thanks Benji! :)
Great demonstration of woodworking basics Neil, thanks for sharing. Hope your hand recovered well. Have a good weekend.
Thanks Robert! :)
That worked incredibly well. The final assembled joint was near perfect. 👍
Thanks mate! It wasn't bad but not sure about perfect, wet glue, sanded to 120 and a quick cart of wax. ;)
Nice video, concise descriptions.
Awesome!

Hi Pask, nice set of videos, I could have used them a little earlier as last month I made a tuning peg set of reamer and cutter by trial and error , came up with a similar system but it took a lot of fiddling round with the cutter before it gave good results and I did round off the start of the blade eventually.
Amazing. You are very intelligent and capricious.
Great video pal, I'm big fan of your work
Thanks very much Martin! :)
Cool video, even cooler photos, Many thanks from UK
fantastic!!
Love your work!

Great video!! Im making one of these soon. So many possible options when you have one of those or even better a few in a few sizes lol. Hope you hand is doing well man. Thanks for the great content.
It's like a giant pencil sharpener! Great video. I'd like to make a set of these sometime soon. Keep it up!
This is fantastic!
Great video, thank you! what kind of wood would you like? oak? beech ? ash? for example...
doesn't look like jarrah not red enough your very skillful and i have picked up several useful tips. thank you
Awesome job Pask! It was a lot of work and even got yourself a bit of a bo bo on your hand. I hope your hand is better now. I appreciate all the work you do to put these videos out. They are a lot of help and I enjoy all of them. Take care and be safe!
Thanks Becky and thanks for the stickers! :)
muy practico y facil !Te felicito amigo.
Just what I was looking for. Unpretentious and generously informative. I wish you were a spiritual guru as well!
I love old wood crafts. you show us something very exclusive. almost forgotten. Thanks a lot, dear🍀👍
Glad you liked it Lukas! :)
Uy
Now you gonna have to make the last jig you showed ,its funny how as a wood worker we get cautious of messing up are hands for fear of not being able to work ,you did that pretty good for a one hander great video
Thanks mate!
Hey I know this video is old but I had an idea for your tear out problem on the larger tenons. You know how a fillister shoulder plane has a spur to slice the grain just slightly before the blade comes through and pares it so it won’t chip out or lift? You could take a spur from a fillister and mount it on the tenon cutter for when you are anticipating tear out
GREAT JOB!.Thanks a lot.
I love your videos, I'm a knifemaker and I find your work amazing, you know how to use your tools and it's very pleasant to watch By the way, where do you get all these pieces of hardwood ?
Vous-êtez un Grand Chef
Awesome! I absolutely love how you had to make a tool to make the tool.
Glad you like it Tom! :)
I loved it!
Yes, awesome!
I'm curious as to why the bed angle ends up being 20 degrees. What happens if it's 15, 18 or 25? Thanks for great content with awesome tips on woodworking =)
Great video! I would love to see how you made the dowel cutter you showed at the end of the video. Thanks....just subscribed!
Nice tool build. Great video. : )
Ótima ferramenta!
Deus te deu muita sabedoria... Parabéns!
thanks for share your lessons
Thanks for sharing !
It is always fun to make your own tools.
Ok very good! Your cutters look like they work well! Hope your hand gets better soon! Thank you.
Thanks Robert! :)
good one and love the pig to silk purses with warts on the its nuts. :)
Super class.
Great video, my coffee went cold whilst I was watching it as I was so absorbed in the video 😀. I can see how great the tapered tenon is, but where would you actually use it. I am thinking old style chairs where the legs go into the seat could be one use, what do you use it for? Thanks, Bob
Glad you enjoyed it Bob! You're correct, it is used in chair making. I've just built a stool to show them in use - video will be out later today. :)
whitedoggarage is
whitedoggarage I’m going to make one or two to install walking stick tips.
the reamer could use a couple of balls added to the tee handle , one to extend it to fit your grip better, and two , so it easier on the balms or webs of your hands when turning it , but great build, like the REuse of the saw blade,
Another good video 👍
Hello Neil, again a very good job. Thick thumbs up ❗❗❗ Martin 👍 👍👍👍✋
Thanks Martin - glad you liked it mate! :)
bloody brilliant mate! good on ya =)
Thanks Master!!
Great one! Like all your videos! You mention that after looking closer at the end grain you think the wood is Jarrah, and that it might not be the best type for this. Would you mind elaborate a bit on that? What make Jarrah not the best choice for this? What properties I mean?
next time you start an angled cut in the middle of a piece of wood try starting with a knife wall. strike a line with a marking knife on the waste side of the line about 1-2 mm (~1/16"). then start the angle with a chisel to remove a slice of wood. then you can start your saw will have a ledge to work against.
Yes you're absolutely correct Mark, I should've known better. :)
Without wanting it you made yourself another mallet, nice :)
this is one gigantic pencil sharpener!
Perfecto!
very good nice job
Great set of tools! I'll take that sample joint if you have no use for it ;-)
I've always wanted to know how to make a giant pencil sharpener! Great pair of videos. Hope the hand's healing well.
That's pretty much what it is Jim! The hand is on the mend! :)
I was thinking the same thing
What if you started by making a compound miter cut in the stock for the blade bed and then glued it half back together again, and clamped the unglued half as you drill and ream the hole? If you have a wood lathe could you use it (unpowered) to guide the reamer!
Awesome, probably too much trouble for one off, but there’s got to be a jig made of a couple of wedges to make the cuts on
A power saw.
I like these. I will have to try to make these when I want to build a chair. But at 10:35, did you run into a couple of nails? It looks like you went through them easily enough.
Great video mate, keep up the excellent work. Regards from Gold Coast Jack Marashlian
That looks just like a giantic sharpener!
Thank you
really cool mate, 2 in one sure its the way to go..:)) the info and details are much appreciated.. great project
No worries Shay! :)
Как замечательно вы изготавливаете инструмент.
Well done my friend, turned out very well....quick recovery can start with a beer, well deserved after that cut 🍻🍺
Thanks Marc! Sounds good to me! :)
Awesome job, i am going to try to make that. Two questions about the small open handled back saw you used in these two videos, what make is it and how old is it? I bought one in the Restore here in Canada a few years ago for a dollar, and i fixed it up and put some sharp on the teeth, and it is a great little backsaw.
Thanks Tim! I picked that saw up somewhere, can't quite remember where but like you I fixed it up an sharpened it. I have no idea of the make or age but it's a great little saw. :)
THANKS
You made all those nice wooden tools including a centre finder and now you use a ruler.what was the point of making the tool
The best
This is exactly the video I needed to help me build a sharpener for my huge pencils!
Curious could you drill a straight hole and the blade in the tenon cutter please answer thanks in advance??????
Fantastic work Neil! If work slows down, you can always get a job at Smiggle, sharpening pencils ;)
It's a really big pencil sharpener!
I would like to make a cutter that would cut a 1/2" or .500 diameter but with square shoulder for walking sticks to add a carving with a 1/2" hole in the center of it. How can I do that? I'm starting the tenon cutter for log type furniture with a double blade but it leaves a radius in the corner. Thank you!
Glad your hand is okay!
Screw a razor blade on the inlet side and have it cut the grain so no tear out? Kinda like the spur nickers on some planes?
Is there a specific reason why woodworkers cut the blade bed at 20º when making these rounder planes/tenon cutters? Most dowel making jigs have 0º blade beds, does it make them harder to use? I figure a blade positioned at 20º+25º should cut better than 0º+25º.
congrats you made a big pencil sharpner
Your's is one of the best videos on how to make tapering tool. Well done! I will be building one however my diameter needs to be much smaller than yours. It will be roughly 1/4" at small end and 5/8" at the big end. Will be using it to make the taper on a hickory golf shaft to fit in the iron hosel. What would make this a slam dunk is if at my finishing point I would be left with a shoulder. Do you see this as being possible?
If you have a lathe you could turn the tenon slightly oversized creating the shoulder then use the tenon cutter to shave it to finished dimension. You could shape it by hand too, but would be trickier(very possible though). :)
Thank you. I've been using a Veritas dowel tapering tool to start the taper. I then hit it with the belt sander to remove a fair amount of excess. Once that's done it can be another couple hours till I get it to sit tight on the shoulder and this is achieved using a utility knife blade as a scraper, file and 100 grit sandpaper. So anything that can knock down the time would be a bonus. I will pick up a reamer tomorrow and build one like your second one in the video (no handles). I will then try and find the sweet spot with the cutter and through trial and error figure out if it a shoulder can be done. These tools used to exist as most cleek makers would have had one that turned the taper to go into their irons. I don't have a lathe and my shafts are currently in 3/4" diameter dowel form. You've given me a path to start on. Thanks again.
hy, thank's for this tuto. i want makes harrow , & finish screw'driver for motor.. i think.? just i move the blade. & the hôle for his right.. thanks. for this again.. your are so kool.. haves mutl good thing's on your road.. ( from auvergne.63 in france..)
Thanks.
The wood you used with the plane iron looks to me like it is wormy chestnut.
It was helpful to me, thanks! I had an idea how to make it but you saved me some trial and error. I can't wait to make some things with that joint.
KZhead: how to make a tenon cutter. Me after 7:00 : Ah! that's a bloody giant pencil sharpener. Could have started with that.
Was just going to say "Nice pencil sharpener", but you beat me to it (by many months).
How narrow can you make these tapered reamers I need one goes from 1/8to 3/8 or an 1/2 inch can you give me an idea of what I need to do any help would be appreciated 👍👍👍🤙🤙🤙
great way too make mallets,
if get a step metal drill bit you can do it in no time
