How to create a strong mitre joint

In this clip we will show you how to create a strong mitre joint.

To create a strong mitre joint between two workpieces, first cut the ends of the workpieces at 45 degree angle. Attach the pieces to your worktable. Drill two holes at a depth of 1 dowel. And another two holes at one and a half dowel. Put glue in the holes, then insert the first dowel and then the second dowel. Tap them with a hammer and saw off the protruding pieces. Finish it by sanding the surface.

About BLOODY time I found a video with zero fluff to it concerning this.
GREAT VIDEO TY!!!

[jmadd]

This makes me feel pretty good about my mitred corners.

[hawkeyestiguy]

This video really boosted my confidence! Lol.

No sharp blades were harmed in the making of this video.

That's the roughest joint I have aver seen.

I can imagine that if you really had perfect miters, and used dowels for reinforcement, that would work pretty well.

put a square on the outside edge
it wont be 90 deg

Ratchet straps work well for clamping a square with miters on all 4 corners. Im wondering how well liquid nails would hold a box together made of 2×4 pine and 45's on all 4 corners without any fasteners. None of us cut perfect mitres every time. Thats why everyone knows little tricks of the trade with a little glue and sanding. Ive seen worse mitres than this!

For the second joint do you put all 2 dowels in ?

[Jizzlewobbwtfcus]

Meh I just tried this. No way to do it without a good table vice. Can't do it with my clamps :[

[danbuffington]

Where's that guy in the back that's going to recommend the bamboo skewer sticks?

[chrisjw]

Wot no six inch nails?

Real builders just bang nails in.

[mrdark]

Holy shit. Does the actual compass say '45ish'

[KevinBower-gybe]

It looks like it's been chewed out by a beaver with a chainsaw.

Who did the mitre STEVIE WONDER??
Ive got a 5 year old nephew who could make a better joint,
Oh by the way, DONT buy a FERM mitre if that is the quality of the mitres it produces.

[AndreiIR]

The finishing of the joint leaves an ugly gap. However, the technique could be valid, just poorly applied. No, I did not "unlike" the video.

[jimmustill]

that is terrible, you should be ashamed
