in order to maintain the style of fence panels, i need to assemble the gate with
mortise and tenon joints. not my favorite task, but i'll try to be patient and do my best.
i like to use a spade drill bit to remove as much material as possible before using a hammer and chisle to square off the corners. your other option is to buy a mortise press.
if all is done right, your should get a nice smooth joint. if all is not done right, chisel more out and add more glue!
i was surprise at how much i got done in just a few hours. i'd say the mortise and tenon joints will be well worth the time i spent. now all i have to do is add the screen and mount the gate.
