Very weird frame joinery... (w/pics)
Hello everyone,
My Dad called me on the phone and asked me to make him a frame this weekend.
He said he had a sample and wanted me to make one just like it. What I
expected and what he had were two very different things. I expected some odd
profile he wanted reproduced on the router table, but instead what he wanted
was a very specific method of joinery.
I have no idea what this joint is called. It is a non-glued frame that you
drive wedges into to expand.
I wasn't exactly sure how to make it, but I was up for the challenge. This
is my first one, and he wants a couple more.
Check out the pics,
Can you guess what it is for?
Thanks for looking,
David.
