Mitred Halving Joint (a.k.a. Mitred Half Lap, Lapped Mitre Joint....)

Mitred Halving Joint (a.k.a. Mitred Half Lap, Lapped Mitre Joint....)

Another way to reinforce a simple mitre joint. The half lap is only visible from one edge, and so in many cases could be orientated so as not to be seen, yet it's superior joint strength (over that of a simple mitre) should hold up well in many applications.

Watch me cut the standard 45 degree mitres, resulting in a perfect right angled joint. However, be aware that other joint angles are equally suitable, given enough care during layout.

Nb. There are numerous names for this joint - please feel free to leave a comment telling me what you know it as.
