Hi all - I am building a table saw extension table and using it as an excuse to hone my M&T joint making skills. I did pretty well with the tenon widths and shoulders. All the joints fit nice and snug but easily installed with some hand pressure. My tops of my rails and posts are all aligned as well.
The problem is that on some of my joints one side of the joint is slightly proud of the other. In other words where I have a rail with a tenon connected to a table leg with a mortise there is a 1/16th inch offset between the two pieces on their plane - one piece is proud of the other. The gap is NOT between the joint - that is tight and I used a shoulder plane to adjust that.
So I guess I didn't have my jig set properly for edge location when I did the mortises.
Maybe im searching using the wrongs terms but I can't find anything that describes how to fix this problem. Lots of advice on adjusting shoulders and tenon width, etc. But nothing on how to fix when the faces of the pieces aren't flush.
Any advice?
