Homemade Portable Mortiser (similar to a Festool Domino)

Thanks for the comment on my Youtube channel, I've taken you up on your offer

There are a few versions of these handheld mortisers for floating tenon joinery, thought I'd have a go.

Although this one works well I'm already planning version 2!

I'd appreciate subscribers too if you like the content

I am encouraged when I see makers doing great things even in very small, confined spaces. You are proof that there is no excuse for not making something with your hands! Keep it up.

I dont have time to waste on a 25 minute video showing how someone drilled a hole or filed an edge. (Admittedly I may have missed some pertinent points, but I am never going to see them now). Most people here have a reasonable understanding on how stuff goes together and the processes to achieve that.
If you want subscribers my suggestion is to showcase the finished tool, in use, in a couple of minutes, MAX! Then say, if you want to see the build, "click this link". I understand YT has their parameters for video time = ad space but without subs you wont get ads anyway. Just my 2c
