I have 1 or 2 books on carpentry but none of them tell me where I should use each joint type. Diagram below shows X where I must use cross halvings. I have been assuming that I Must use M&T at A,B and D
(M = M&T)
A--------B---------------------------B--------A | | | | | | | | | | | | D-------X---------------------------X--------D | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | D ------M M---------D | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | D-------X---------------------------X--------D | | | | | | | | ===================================== (door step)
Is it ok to use lap or halving joints at A,B or D intersections?
Thanks.
