Hello everyone,
My Dad called me on the phone and asked me to make him a frame this weekend. He said he had a sample and wanted me to make one just like it. What I expected and what he had were two very different things. I expected some odd profile he wanted reproduced on the router table, but instead what he wanted was a very specific method of joinery.
I have no idea what this joint is called. It is a non-glued frame that you drive wedges into to expand.
I wasn't exactly sure how to make it, but I was up for the challenge. This is my first one, and he wants a couple more.
Check out the pics,

Can you guess what it is for?
Thanks for looking,
David.
