- 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.
I could practice this joint for the next 50 years and never get as pretty of a joint as you did in this video. Your talent is inspiring.
I'm flattered, but I only got here myself by practicing :-)
Thanks for the very educational video! I'm grateful that you took the time to explain the different shapes of the half lap and mitered ends. I'm a newbie to woodworking and I really needed that explanation. Thank you again!
+Tim Bruno Hi Tim, Pleased you found it useful. Some of my joint videos build on previous ones, but most are quite thorough. Happy woodworking, Mitch
Beautifully explained and clearly videod, thank you. I also learned some little techniques like chiseling to the cut for the saw to rest against. Great job.
buddyboy4x44 Many thanks. Happy woodworking, Mitch
Awesome video Mitch. Love the video clarity, good clear voice and close up views of what you are doing. As much as all of this adds to overall quality of your presentations, I , like many I am sure, truly enjoy the sound of your sharpened chisel paring down the end grain of the metered walls. I cannot define exactly why this sound reaches out as it does, I guess having a pretty good understanding of how sharp any tool must be to cut end grain. Truly a remarkable video to me because you have introduced me to a much more stable miter joint during glue up. This type of joint even allows for a peg or dowel to be inserted through the joint for strength and appearance values. Well done my friend. All the way from Maine,USA.
+Lee Fuller Hi Lee! Your words are much appreciated. Happy woodworking, Mitch
Thank you, I'm thoroughly enjoying watching and trying all these joints.
+Ben West Cheers Ben. Seeing your profile picture, do you do extreme woodworking up mountains ;-)
Haha, nah I seperate my two passions ;-)
I loved your video! Simple, easy and well described. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and skills with all of us! Greatings from México.
Mitch, I made one of these joints for the fun of it and just to try it out, I see why you have that special 45 degree layout gauge! It was awkward to layout the 45 degree angle with my Starrett combination square so I ordered one of those 45 degree layout gauges today, I see why you need it. Thanks again.
I'm sure a Starrett combination gauge would be pretty accurate, but I do prefer using fixed gauges where possible for marking out of joints. But if your mitre doesn't quite mate well, you can adjust it with a shoulder plane, or just a chisel, for a good fit.
Main thing is you tried, and with a little practice you'll be able to make one better than I did here.
I can't believe I just found this one. Great hand skills mate, always learn so much from your videos, going to practice this one for sure. Thanks Mitch
Golly that's an old one! Thanks mate
Hi. I am watching your videos and love them. You did amazing job for us. I want to thank you that you're sharing your skills. I'm amateur in woodworking but trying hard to learn it. Greetings from Poland.
+Maeriss K Thank you Maeriss. I'm pleased you are enjoying the videos, and wish you success with your woodworking. I don't think I have many viewers in Poland, so do spread the word ☺
I appreciate the hand tools old school. thank you
+Bubbagreen Smith
Thank you. You'll find the majority of my videos are based on hand tools. Happy woodworking, Mitch
Thanks, Mitch! I've never tried this joint before, but I was thinking about using it for a chalkboard frame. The explanation was simple and clear. Cheers!
Thanks Tim. If you make it with this joint, send me a photo of the board and joint, and I'll pop it in my viewer's gallery. Happy woodworking, Mitch
Amazing joint and workmanship! Well demonstrated and explained!
Thank you. I am watching all of your videos.
Thank you Jim,
Happy woodworking, Mitch
Very well done!! I really admire your patience and attention to detail. Great video series.
Thanks, much appreciated.
Happy woodworking, Mitch
You've made me realize I didn't have enough appreciation for marking tools. Coming from a construction background, marking was always done with pencils. Not anymore!
I guess the tolerances reduce with the scale of the job. I'm sure if you came from construction that you'll adapt quickly and make a great woodworker
Very nice workmanship and video! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks John!
John Kraemer
Never seen this joint before! Looks strong! Thanks Mitch.
Robert Brunston Cheers. Yes, strong, and also easy to cut too
mi estimado amigo... son muy buenos tus trabajos y cortes exactos espero poder aprender pues apenas estoy iniciando esto de la carpinteria y eh tomado muchos ejemplos tuyos. muy faciles que se ven. pero requieren mucha paciencia te agradesco... sigue asi
+Alberto sanchez zopiyactle gracias amigo. buena suerte en su trabajo de la madera aventuras
You had me at welcome to the workshop lol thanks for the vid
Thanks Simas, Happy woodworking
It was fun but my joint did not come out quite as pretty as your but its a good solid joint. Thanks.
It doesn't matter how good a is video presented, there is always 1 moron who gives it a thumbs down but this jarhead (U.S.MARINE) appreciates the effort that it takes to makes these videos. Thank You WOmadeOD for your presentation and keep up the good work.
jarhead4God I couldn't possibly comment! But thanks for your support.Happy woodworking, Mitch
OO-RAH
Outstanding!
jackjetpilot Many thanks. Happy woodworking, Mitch
Great job. Thank you for sharing
Thanks
Great video.
+ultra blue Thanks!
Nice sharp tools.
It really helps!
Very good work!
Thanks mate
@@mitchwoodwork No, I must thank you for the nice and useful videos that you work for us! :-)
Thanks Mitch, that was a very clear and helpful guide! Very precisely made joint as well, I was wondering what is the make of the mitre gauge or where it may be purchased from?
+Tristan Trainer Thanks Tristan, The mitre gauge is Japanese, and I think I either got it from Axminster Tools & Machinery, or Classic Hand Tools, both UK online.
Very useful, thank you.
Thanks Bob
Happy woodworking, Mitch
Hi Mitch. If you reference the marking gauge off the same face, doesn't that mean that on one piece, you're going to have the dent of the bevel on the 'keep' material?
Yep. But, the water in the glue should swell it back. The reason for using the same face is to avoid any error in gauge setting, which could result in the show surfaces not being flush when pared to the gauged line.
Mitch I am interested in the tools you used. The metal 45 degree tool you used and the tool with the wheel that allowed you to scar the wood for cutting.
Hi Thomas,
The one is a Japanese mitre square, the other a wheel marking gauge. These two came from Axminster Tools and Machinery in the UK, but are widely available.
Happy woodworking, Mitch
Thanks for returning my message. You are great at what you do.
Where might I get a marking knife like yours?! Is that Demascus or maybe just blue steel?
+Alex Marez Hi Alex, it's just a simple Japanese marking knife. I'm pretty sure I got it from Axminster Tools and Machinery, and that they still stock it. It's not particularly expensive, but is really excellent to use. Cheers, Mitch
Perfect
that's a very pretty mitre square. who makes it?
It is lovely, and accurate too.
I'm not sure who manufactures it; it's raining cats and dogs right now, so I'm not going to venture down to the workshop! However, I got it from Axminster Tools and Machinery (www.axminster.co.uk), and it's still in their catalogue, code 510015 priced at £12.44
Happy woodworking, Mitch
I like your nail..
Thanks, it was a pain to get it that way!
ye, I bet it was :)
:) I've got the same thumbnail bruise...
MrTruth111 Sign of a true craftsman!
Is that 1×2 wood?
Probably 2"x¾", but joint works with any size.
Good job but on track can't see things too much for one things put on forward and don't bla bla show the things
Cheers, not quite sure what you mean though
@@mitchwoodwork He means that he doesn't have the patience or the understanding to follow you, but he's too rude to put it, diplomatically.
Thanks for the video.
I tried this for the first time, and it came out well, though it does bend the brain, somewhat, until you get the method off, pat.
As usual, the trick is to *do* it for yourself, *then* you understand.
@@Offshoreorganbuilder I think you could be right 😏
Good on you for tackling it.
IKEA.
Mind yer thumb......
What thumb ;-)
Cheers
