types of join
Butt joint Mitre joint Mortise and Tenon
Mitre joints are often used to produce the corners of picture frames. The mitre needs to be cut at a 45 degree angle.
A very simple joint but it is also very weak. They tend to be used for making picture frames.
This is a very strong joint. The joint is split into two parts one part is the tenon, and the other part is the mortise.
