An example of the write of one entry:
Typical Post Joint
Post top tenons should have a long tenon as roof load uplift is usually a factor. 3″ of relish (beyond the pegs to the end of the tenon) and 2″ of distance from the pegs to the shoulder. With surfaced material there is no need to house the joint. We do not recommend creating 4 shoulders at this joint, or any for that matter, unless a cnc machine is cutting the joint.
Over plunge the mortise to allow for clearance of the radial cut from a chain mortiser (crosscut tooling shown) and/or to account for shrinkage of the wood.
There are other scenarios where post bottoms and tops can have different connections and detailing.
