I'm making a workbench with 3" thick legs. I'm attaching the rails to the legs with mortise and through tenons.
I was planning to make the mortises with a drill press/forstner bit and chisel. The problem is my drill press's spindle travel is not long enough to go all the way through to hog out the body of the leg mortise.
My plan is to hog out from both sides, and then use a chisel and hope the whole thing lines up square.
Is there a better way? (short of buying a bigger press / mortiser?)
