Three Guesses?
You don't need three to guess who gave up on setting a lock mitre cutter on his homemade router table and cut plain mitres with keys.
Small box made from recycled walnut from an old wardrobe door panel and a couple of chisels for cutting in the hinges.
BTW nothing like 1/4" x #2 brass wood screws to tell you that your screwdrivers needs tuning up on a stone...

I reckon locking mitres look fine on drawer carcases etc but for a decorative box what you've done looks better and shows off your hand skills.
Well done!Nothing succeeds like a budgie without a beak.

Fletty is in the UK at the moment, he is an expert on lock mitre joints.

Thanks for the tip David, will see if I can find a UK supplier.
Ah, the Orkneys, sailed around them a few times but never visited, a friend here in the village goes sea fishing up there several times a year.

Hi Mark,
Those gauges are are made by Infinity Tools and I’m sure they are available in the UK. There are 2 sizes and I bought both but the small would be enough for router table applications. The large is SO large that it must be for spindle moulders?
While I was in the Orkneys (flettrek | just like Startrek … but with Fletts…), I arranged a freshwater fishing expedition for a couple of Swedish mates who thoroughly enjoyed it.
The development of my method, and jigs, for doing lock mitres is covered here but it’s a fairly long winded description....
Joinery 'systems' get together (JSGT)
...... for what has finally become a quick and easy process.
