Angled Joints
– eliminates difficult clamping
up. The joint is created not by cutting each mitre
to half the angle but by cutting angle on one
jointing piece and drilling pocket holes into the
square piece. The method results in the mitred
edge having an overhang, which will need to be
removed by plane or sander.
Curved Joints
– this uses the same technique
as the angled joint, but the angles will be
shallower (5° to 15°). The overhang will need to
be removed as previous.
Mitred Corner Joints
– joining two pieces with
45° mitres with the pocket jig is not advisable,
however a 90° change of direction can be
created by using a bevel-jointing piece. The joint
comprises of a 90° infill piece with 45° mitres on
both sides.
Plinths
– faster and stronger than dowel and
biscuits.
