Howto model the Mortice and Tenon joint in FreeCAD

This tutorial shows how to use FreeCAD to model mortice and tenon joinery used in fine furniture and other applications. This tutorial is intended for furniture makers and wood workers who want an alternative to SketchUp for designing furniture, boxes, etc.

I will demonstrate how to create the mortice and tenon joint by designing a table leg representing one corner of a table with two stretchers that attach to it.

In this tutorial you will learn how to to design the parts, how to assemble them, and finally how to animate the parts to show how they go together.

Workbenches used:

- Sketcher
- Part Design
- Assembly 2
- Exploded Assembly

About FreeCAD

FreeCAD is a parametric 3D modeler made primarily to design real-life objects of any size. Parametric modeling allows you to easily modify your design by going back into your model history and changing its parameters.

FreeCAD is open-source and highly customizable, scriptable and extensible.

FreeCAD is multiplatfom (Windows, Mac and Linux), and reads and writes many open file formats such as STEP, IGES, STL, SVG, DXF, OBJ, IFC, DAE and many others.
