I have a large pile of wood outside that is hopefully going to become
an allotment shed, following the demise of my previous much loved
item : http://www.flashgorman.com/shed.jpg

Naturally being an allotment shed I want to build it for absolutely
no money at all and the wood I have is all scavenged FOC.

This policy has left me lacking some big fence post type bits of wood
to make up the four corners of the shed. I do have some thick timbers
but they are all three foot long, so what I want to do is join them
together somewho to make six foot posts.

Anyone know the best way to do this? All the joints I have seen are
for joining stuff at right angles.

Or maybe there is another way of doing it?

Cheers

Must admit when I first read your post I thought "ah scarf(ph) joints
are what he wants" but having read the poster that said butt joints will
work can see where s/he/it is coming from, would still go the scarf(ph)
route though.
