That’s called a real nice looking joint, that I could not hope to do as well as what you have done. Great job! I think I would call it simply a mortised 45 degree joint. Regardless of the name it looks great. I’m jealous. -- Betsy - GO BUCKS! |

thanks Betsy, i was thinking of a mitered mortise and tenon so i guess that we’re both thinking the same. thats good! thanks again! |

That’s a mitered tenon. The tenon is a little heavy (& sides of mortise too thin) but it should work ok for a picture frame. Normally the tenon won’t go all the way to the end of the joint. -- Tim -- http://tmuli.com |

Tim is right—for this size project your tenon should be ok——but in furniture it would be to big. The general rule of thumb (my thumb anyway) is the tenon should be about 1/3 the thickness of your material. Give or take 1000th. -- Betsy - GO BUCKS! |

ya thats how i planned it but i have no idea what happened. the fence must not have been locked down or something because i has it planned for about a 3/16th tenon but i got this. hey what can you do. next time i’ll just make a specialized jig and be more careful. |

Hey Denis! Did you get your router to center on your dovetail jig? The name of the joint you made there is call a mitered bridle joint. For a great book on all sorts of different joints, get a copy of “Joinery” from Taunton Press. -- Vic in Pasco, Washington "It is what it is"-unknown author |

thanks, I’m getting better with the router. i made some dovetails in a sugar chest I’m making and it came out great so i think I’m getting the hang of it. |

Roman, I’m assuming you’re asking why would i do this joint. i like splines but you see them everywhere and i really try to do something different on my picture frames and so i tried this out. just like i used dovetails to connect my last picture frame. it will be a little better next time as the mortise and tenon are concerned because i will make a jig but i think this worked great the first time. |

Denis, I think it’s cool you just go for it, in terms of using a particular joint for an unusual application. I think, ultimately, that is how you’ll find your own “voice” in woodworking. What’s the latest on the possibility of you and the other young worker (forgot his name) starting your own show? Keep me posted. -- Vic in Pasco, Washington "It is what it is"-unknown author |
