Astile is then fixed in bench stops, Com-mence the cut at centre of mortise, work-ing towards the near end, removing thecore as you go, then reverse the chisel and cut to far end of mortise. If through mortis-ing is being executed, cut half way throughfrom one side, and then reverse the stuff. Thecore is removed with a core driver, viz., apiece of hard wood 9 in. long, rather smallerthan the mortise, driven through the hole. Clearing out Stub Mortises. — Stubmortises are gauged for depth by glueing apiece of paper on the side of the chisel, f. 3,which indicates when the proper depth is reached. Stub mortises are clearedout with a small firmer chisel. It is essential for well-fitting work that the. 2. Mortising and Testing with Square. 3. Paper Gauge for Depth. 4. A Float.
