Hi all,
Going through Matt K.'s book on kumiko, he has some instructions on how to make an offset lap joint for a frame, but his instructions are unclear to me, so I'm hoping someone has a link to their favorite demonstration / article about this joint. I can't find anything on google nor on this site, maybe the joint has another name I should search for? It's a lap joint for a picture frame, but the unequal sizes of the laps allow the frame to come together such that the rabbets aren't visible when the frame is assembled, and it can all be done on the table saw.
I understand only the beginning steps:
get the lumber milled and to final dimensions
cut a rabbet along one long edge of each of the 4 components
then I'm to cut differing size laps, but I'm not sure how to determine which joints get what procedure, nor what the procedure actually is.
Thanks for any help, it's not important, I can just do a normal lap joint and then cut the rabbet for the artwork with a router or by hand, I was just hoping to learn a new and perhaps better technique.
