Desertboy,
Just so you know, I'm not guessing or having a stab at some idea, working with wood is what I do.

Excellent! I'll make you regret you ever said that ha ha ha.

Desert, here is a nice video by Mitch Peacock showing how to do a bridle joint by hand if you fancy having a go.

My experience with tenon's and half lap's is mostly at the "first fix" level, I generally do this using a mitre saw via the blade depth stop, tuning with a wood chisel as needed, at that level it obviously doesn't need to look too beautiful but I've also used this method to make a few shaker style cabinet doors here and there with great results, if you score your lines with a scoring knife (stanley blade) you can get the finished joints looking clean and crisp.
