re: Workbench
Thank you Eric! I actually put a wrong number in the picture in my video by mistake....
What I did was, I used 1/2" square pin and for the tenon side, the distance between the tenon shoulder to the pin(the part closer to the shoulder) is 1-7/32"(in the video, I stated it as 1-1/32" by mistake). For the mortise side, the distance is 1-1/4" so the pin pulls the tenon by 1/32".
Basically, I looked for information of Japanese Joinery and found they use a 12mm- 15mm square pin for 90mm x 90mm lumber and I saw people use a 15mm pin for 105mm x 105mm lumber. I also found someone's article written in Japanese that they use 2mm offset to pull the tenon but I just thought 2mm is too risky for my cutting accuracy.
