Wedged Tenons are a prominent part of the Samurai Carpenter Workbench.  Mortise are done with a plunge router and by using templates with bushings in the router.

The plans call for attaching the end pieces to the apron and workbench tops with Triple Through Wedged Tenons.  In this Part One video, I discuss the technique of using a plunge router in combination with a template to cut the 12 mortises without having to do any layout lines on each workpiece.
