Popular Post Gary Beasley Posted February 16, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 Thought that was pretty good. Too many of my joints had that problem. I never thought about the burnishing technique. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpt life Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 I have done this on a couple hundred porch column boxes that never quite meet right in cedar. What I don’t like is how he pushed directly into the sharp point to start. That will leave a flat spot you then need to chase back to a point. I would always work as parallel to the flat faces as possible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miters like this have gaps because rips at 45° are tricky at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Beasley Posted February 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 I didnt have any gaps to speak of on my project. I just needed to clamp them properly to pull the faces together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
