Need Help Shaping a Tenon

Post by tigercasual »

Hey Guys,

I have a tenon that is just a little too large, any suggestions for shaping/reducing it in size, so that it the proper fit?

Thanks,
TC

Somewhere on here is a picture of a home made tool from two pieces of wood with several different size holes split so you can place sandpaper inside the cutouts and sand a tenon down to proper size by hand. Some one else should come along that knows where the original link is located.
