I suppose a alternative to loose ten on joinery would be the beadlock.

I use mortise and tenon a lot and find it is really easy to cut the tenon on a shaper with a couple of Freud 6" blades and some spacers. They are consistent, and I can run the boards face down through the shaper. That way,  I'm not having to run the boards on end through the table saw.
