Photo of the Week: Horizontal slot mortiser

mortiser

Dustin Fowler is a student in the fall clay class (you can tell by his shirt and the brim of his cap). Lately he’s been moonlighting in the wood studio where instructor John Clark has been helping him build a wood and ceramic wall piece. Here he’s driving the horizontal slot mortiser to make precisely located slots (I guess you saw that coming) in a series of weathered oak boards.
