Wade, isn't that called a bridle joint on the door? and how did you make it? just curious as i'm getting close to making the doors on the cabinet i'm building. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gee-dub Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 It does appear to be a bridle joint; my preferred joint for floating panel doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just consulted my handy-dandy Rogowski Joinery book and they are officially called corner bridle joints. Thanks for catching my error. As to how I did it: I used my table saw.

Do you think it superior to the strength of a joint made using rail and stile bits on the router table? I ask because I'm making some mitered bridle joints on a door right now.

wtnhighlander Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 ... As to how I did it: I used my table saw. Wade, calling that that piece of iron in your shop a 'table saw' is like calling this piece of iron a 'locomotive'. Understated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brum Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Looks great. I have the cherry set aside for this same build. Did you recess the back panel far enough to fit the cleat flush with the back edge or did you follow the plans and add the thin strips to "extend" the back out? At least how I remember it.

I did not follow the plan. I placed the cleat deep enough to make it functional. If the plan does call for an "extension", I would be reluctant to do so. I wonder how it would look having an appendage. I think the side view of the piece is really beautiful and I would not want to alter it.
