Wow, they stole my idea. I came up with that on my own, and since I came up
with the idea on my own, and since they did it on TV, somebody owes me
money.
Where do I sign up to get my $0.33 in the class action lawsuit sure to
follow?

Sorry, Michael. I first heard of that method when I was 16 or so working in an
altar factory in Katonah, NY. That was damned near 50 years ago, so unless you
can collect on th egleam in your daddy's eye, you are SOL.

Yeah, Charlie's not thinking 21st century-like here.
I ought to get at least $500 million in damages from the state because
Charlie came up with my idea 50 years ago.
Rather, I'll get awarded $500 million, take $3 million, and give the
ambulance chaser a $497 million commission... :)

You wish. You get 50K. The lawyer gets 497 mil, and expenses take anything
between the 2 figures.

I'll take 50K. I'll take $50. Where do I sign up?

Microsoft settlement? Do they owe me money too? I want my 29 cents.

Bzzzzt! Uncle Sam takes his $350M right off the top. Expenses
take another $6 mil (lunches + kickback to attorney's siblings
and secretary). The Speaking Weasel himself takes $141,999,999.99
You buy new houses for yourself, both sets of parents, and siblings
on both sides, new cars for yourself, SWMBO, and the kids. You're
now left with the whopping sum of $453.22 and everyone you know
is hounding you for moneyfor their special cause/need/whim. Women
are throwing themselves at you and you come home with a bad case
of...oops! Your phone rings off the hook with people claiming to
be relatives trying to get in on the windfall. You had quit your
job because of all the money and your boss won't let you come back,
not with -THAT- attitude.
Yeah, money is good.
Did I tell you that my ship came in a couple weeks ago? My
portion of the Microsoft settlement was a cool TWENTY NINE
cents. I put it in the bank and am going to live off the
wild interest they're giving out nowadays.

You're thinking too logically ... just let a lawyer get hold of the thought.

I built a Tudor style bench with 50 mortises that way. It works, but I had
a hard time getting the precision fit I'd like. Convinced me to buy a
mortising machine.

Coming up with that idea isn't the biggest issue. Its coming up with the
methods of doing them consistently and quickly that take some extra
creativity.

I also use loose tenon mortises. Fine Woodworking recently had an article
on making a jig for this. It was very simple to put together but it took a
little while to mark the centerlines accurately (something they stressed to
spend a lot of time on). I used this jig in my last project and the joints
were dead on. The only investment was a spiral bit for the router.
Well that'd be the way they did 'em for years before they had things like
routers and mortising machines. Difference would be a brace and bit or just
chopping them out by hand with a good mortising chisel.

Reminds me of a conversation I had with a model shop foreman. I asked
him how he interviewed job candidates.
*he shows me a fairly simple piece--a large open cavity with a round
mounting lug in the middle standing about an inch above the rest of the
piece*
"How many ways different ways can you make this."
I've done fixturing on and off, and could come up with five ways.
If you could come up with more than ten, he'd let you prove you could do
it using one of his choosing.
He could come up with forty.
He also had a rogues gallary of complicated pieces we engineers
"invented" stating how long they took to make, next to a stock item that
fulfilled the same need.
Yep. I've done many a mortise this way. Now I use the router and do loose
tenons almost exclusively. Got tired of unnecessary chiseling. :-)
