Can two pieces of 3/4" material be joined by the Hidden Mitre Joint using the 1" 90 degree v-groove bit? If I read the instructions correctly, one piece has to be 3/8" and the other 3/4". Also, does anyone know which episodes this joint was used? I know it was used in the Chest Lamp episode #813, but I don't have that one.

thanks

Hi Harry

very cute but very hard also,, this joint will make tons of fire wood or make the box you wanted very small when your done with it...it may start out at 7" x 8" and it will or may end up 4" x 3" it's a hard one.. to get right off the bat..

Bob it's not unusual for that to happen to me irrespective of the type of joint, why do you think the only projects that I repeat are ones made with jigs/templates.

Hi Harry

That would be a good one for you to make and post,, a jig/template ,,,to make this joint... out of the router bits I have I don't have this type of router bit...I have a small one but not one that is the same size needed for this type of joint...

Along time ago I tried this joint and made a real nice box for the fire place, it did burn very well LOL if I recall it was Walnut that had a nice blue flame.

I've added a few pictures of the project I was working on. A lady had, what looks like, the tops of a couple of mirrors that she wanted to make valences for 2 windows. I cut the panels to length and then cut the miters to make the corners to mount to the wall. One picture is showing a closeup of the joint and another shows the same picture with a red line where the joint is. Have to look pretty hard to see the joint. I guess this is just a simple locked miter joint. Very simple to make and seems to hold very good. I started to just make a 45 degree miter and add biscuits, but thought this might be stronger.
