Hi Gary,
Was looking over Lon Schleining’s article on Floating tenon joinery, where he outlines a simple mortising jig for a plunge router. My question is; how are things kept stable while mortising in end grain?
Thanks, Tom

Your work is clamped into a vise usually when mortising into end grain. Even a long board can be put into the vise at an angle to hold it fast. I use a mortising template then to set my router on. It has a wide base for the router to rest on and a slot for the template guide then to fit into.
