Mitre 10 Mitre Plan - Create Professional Timber Joins

Many DIYers think that only complicated joints give a good result in woodwork. And that making a strong, close-fitting joint is beyond them. It isn't true. There are many ways to securely join timber. All you need are average skills and the right tools. A skilled craftsman should only undertake some joints, but there are many other simpler ones that will do the job equally well. In fact, there are no hard and fast rules in choosing a particular joint. It's really just a case of finding a joint that is both structurally sound and visually pleasing for the job at hand.

In this segment, we show that you don't have to be an expert carpenter of cabinetmaker to make neat, long-lasting joins. The ones we've chosen are easy to make and will suit a wide variety of applications from furniture making to building construction. All you need are average skills and the right tools – and you're on your way.
