  • I love that in woodworking there is always more than one way to do something. I examined ten different ways to make a miter joint. This is a joint you’d use for picture frame. Some of these techniques could apply to making a wood box, but I think that type of joinery should be its own video.
    I made all of my miter cuts using the table saw and a miter gauge. Any additional work was done on the table saw or router table. Here’s the list of the miter joints I made:

    You're definitely one of the best (influencer for lack of a better word) you make things clear without things getting convoluted
    Other than having woodworking as a hobby I've been a interior trim carpenter over 30 years I really like and I've never seen before shooting 23g threw the blue tape the filling the nail holes
    I'm not sure how I've never thought of that 200iq stuff there

    Loved that mini river table! You make some of the complex mitre joints look so easy. It would be great if you could cover the very basics such as how to consider saw kerf and how to account for it when cutting a mitre joint. For example, using 3/4 material, if I want the inside dimensions of a box (cube shape) to be 12" x 12" x 12", what should be accounted for when setting the cut based on the kerf of the blade. I will have to try some of these complex mitres! Great video!

    I watched nearly 2 dozen videos searching for how to join miter cuts for building frames and you are the only pro who showed how to do inside joints without having to build complex jigs or buy pricey machines that don't really do the 56 degree angle joints. Seriously, thanks for making the video, I learned a lot and will try both methods on my next frames.
