Where I fall down is the skills to make joints at the four corners. Are
there any fitments I can just drill in to join the wood at the corners?
They would need to be fairly sturdy, as this is an opening casement.


You'd likely get away with simply glueing and screwing. Most joints date
back to before either. Not to say they aren't better.


Wooden dowels?

Halving joint is pretty simple.


Any screws would inevitably be into the end grain, though. I thought
there might be special end-grain fixings, but I can't find any.
