CHAPTER VII

It is used in highly finished boxes.
BEVELED JOINTS A beveled joint is made by beveling the members so that the plane of the joint bisects the angle at which the members meet.

This is called the "miter" and may be 45 degrees or any other angle.

It is a neat but weak joint unless reinforced by a spline, nails, or in some other way.
[Illustration: Fig.253.Gluing Together a Picture-Frame (See also Fig.

254.)] _No.52.A plain miter_, Fig.

268, is a joint where the beveled edges or ends abut and are simply glued or nailed together.
