The architect on this particular job, is interested in the option of doing square Japanese style peg holes. I'm just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on the best way to do it. I could drill a 1" hole and chisel it out with a corner chisel. I looked at large stationary mortisers, but they don't have enough stroke or flexibility. What I wish existed would be a chain mortiser style machine with the capacity to take a 1" mortise chisel auger to cut through 8" of white oak. And while I'm wishing I'd like a pony and a million bucks for Christmas.
Any ideas?
