    Hi I want to make a mirror frame to the design in this pic but was wondering how do you create a mortice and tennon with a 45degree mitre as shown here? This is only a very quick drawing of what I'm on about. Any details on how to do this will be greatly appreciated!

    Send me the cad file, and I'll stick the joints on for you.

    Just thought , a bridle joint, or a loose tongue in a slot might be better. Tenon into a mortice with wedges , would end up narrow width, and wedging would be tricky so as not to damage morticed piece

    Or invest in a biscuit joiner?

    Cant open it I'm afraid. Incompatible version.

    If you can send it as a dxf , or save it as a 200 autocad, or Architectural desktop file.

    This is one option , a bridle. Easier variation of a m&t.

    Yeah, that will work, but as I said you have to be careful with the short grain left on the morticed piece, as it will be fragile.

    If you are looking for challenging joints, maybe you should look at japanese joinery techniques, they really stretch the technically minded.....beautiful work.

    sound job! just wanted to make sure it will work! I reckon a bit of precision cutting will have to be done to make sure the 45deg points meet witout any gaps. Now all I need to do is find a way to get the timber planed up! Now thats another story!

    " The Art of Japanese Joinery " by Kiyosi Seike. This type of joinery is eye opening from a western point of view, and the skill set is really incredible.
