How I Turn Tenons on the Lathe

During the Lost Art Press Open Wire, a reader asked if I would post a video on how I turn tenons. I’m not a fancy turner, but I can make a respectable tenon. When I make a bunch of chair parts, this is how I prefer to do it.

Here are the tools shown in the video (because someone will ask. We are Never Sponsored.)
