All,

I am making a model display using 3/4" red oak - base is approx. 6" x 7", vertical
section
is approx. 10" x 7".

The upright section is not vertical, it is 15 deg. off vertical i.e., angle from
top of
base to face of the upright section is 105 deg.

My preference is to have the two pieces connected without any exterior visible
evidence of
the joint i.e., a blind joint.

Not being an experienced wood worker, researched the Internet and learned of full
blind
dovetail joints - just what I need!

After finding specific instructions on how to create such a joint when the two
pieces are
not at right angles - was apparent my skills were not sufficient to end up with
anything
usable.

Would appreciate any recommendations on recommended joint types that require only
basic
wood working skills.

Thanks in advance for your comments.

Regards,

Doug

A dowel butt joint should fit your requirement nicely and is a good
joint for a beginner.
