{ "id": "s1", "narration": "In a woodshop, most things that break fail where two pieces meet. For sixty years I have trusted the oldest answer there is: the mortise and tenon. It is not flashy. It is a tongue cut on one piece, a socket chopped in the other, and the two pulled tight until they become one for a hundred years." },
{ "id": "s2", "narration": "Begin with the tenon. Lay it out with a sharp pencil and a square, mark the shoulders, then saw to the line and saw straight. A tenon cut true goes home without force. If you have to fight it, the mistake is already made. The wood should guide your hand, not the other way round." },
{ "id": "s3", "narration": "Now the mortise. Mark it the same way, then chop with a chisel worked square and for even depth. Right down the middle, wall to wall, so the socket is a clean room with flat sides. Rough work here shows at the shoulder. Take your time. A tired evening ruins a good morning's layout." },
{ "id": "s4", "narration": "The final trick is the drawbore: offset the peg holes by a hair, drive the peg, and it draws the shoulder tight as a drum. No glue can do that. Then the joint is not held together. It wants to stay. Patience, square, and true. That is the whole trade, and it has never let me down." }
