Jeopardy

[Justin McCurdy]

Did anyone catch the Woodworking category on Jeopardy last night? The $2000 question was "Mortise and ...".

[Chuck Saunders]

.........Cuss?

[David Epperson]

That would have been a tenon-uous question. :D

[mark page]

Wonder how many people at home was confused and said "pestle" as in Mortar & Pestle?

[Doug Shepard]

Mortise and Gomez Addams??

[Matt Meiser]

Wonder if they would have accepted "What is a loose tenon?" Technically correct....

[Greg Cole]

Mortise and... uhh... a reason to justify buying a domino? :D:D:D
C'mon Matt, ya know ya want one... LOL

Sorry, can't help it... TGIF.

At least they caught the using a T square to lay out rafters. I do wonder sometimes about the judges and the way they rule someone wrong for a mis-spelled answer and other times it is sort of "we were looking for Saturday but we'll accept Tuesday".

Well I almost went that route with Mortise & chisel :eek:

[Justin McCurdy]

In response to the "mortise and ...", they actually showed a 3D mockup of the two parts of the joint so I doubt they would have accepted "loose tenon." Never know though, the one lady missed one letter in the spelling of a word in final jeopardy and they took all her money away.

"What is a tendon" :D
I've pulled a tendon before, but it wasn't while cutting a mortise. :D
