Having used both methods, drilling and paring vs straight chopping a mortise including sizes up to one inch, they seem to take me about the same amount of time.

Chopping seems the less tedious.

Edward mentions a good truism by which to live and work.

It makes more sense to size the mortise to the tenon stock than the mortise stock. Imagine trying to make a tenon 1/3 of the size of a 4X4...

Sadly the Borgs and other stores do not carry as many boxes of 100 as they used to.

If Van Dyke's doesn't work out you might try looking into bookbinders. Some of them do foil leaf work for decoration or even spine titling.

Your father and many others, including myself, have shared in this philosophy. It also makes for great estate sales so our heirs can have a little cash for a family dinner.

There are a lot of different theories proposed in woodworking as in other endeavors.

In some circles folks suggested instead of the 1/3 rule for M&T sizing using the 1/2 rule. The M&T would be...

The first trip is to buy everything you think you need.

The second trip is to buy all the things you...

This reminds me of my 1957 VW bus. The starter/solenoid set up had three terminals: one side went to ground, the other side went to the positive terminal on the battery, the third was the wire from...

Tried that and there are a couple of problems:

If there is a wire under the staple it doesn't work. Getting the wire out first is more work.

The next problem is if the staple runs vertical on a...

Scammers likely don't have anything to do but work on scamming others.

They probably watch crime shows on TV for new ideas. Maybe they brainstorm with their scummy friends.

Are scum and scam...

Apparently there is a new phone scam where someone asks to use your phone because their battery died.

I don't like messing up my screw drivers by using them as a prying tool. I was using an awl, but it didn't have enough of a shaft to wedge out the end or give it any prying strength.
