This is a joint normaly used to join two pieces of timber of the same thickness to make a right angle join. An example of the use would be a wooden framed gate.
A slot is cut in the side of one piece normaly the upright. This slot would be about a third of the thickness of the timber. This is the mortice.
A toungue is cut in the gate rail by removing timber from both sides of the rail in equal amounts, this "tongue is a tight fit to and as long as the depth of the mortice. This is the tenon.
The tenon is fitted into the mortice and may or may not be secured in place depending on the strength required at the joint.
