I figured this is the best way to ask all these are in one thread. Especially since some are probably easy and quick to answer.
1) Is a 3/8" wide mortise too large for a 3/4" wide rail and stile? If so, what is most appropriate?
2) Is there a standard length for a tenon (in relation to question #1)?
3) When using hot glue to temporarily hold something, is there a way to clean it up so that it won't ruin the workpiece (in future staining or finishing)?
4) Are there certain species of wood that shouldn't be stacked on other species? I know this is a bizarre question, but I would hate to stack some wood, only to have it ruined by some properties of another species.
5) When purchasing forstner bits, what is the best for woodworking? carbon or high speed steel? Titanium?
How's that for a wide range of questions?!? I appreciate all the help, and I hope others can gain something out of your answers. :)
