Something like a haunched bridle joint. It only goes together / comes apart one way unlike a bridle joint, but it’s just as easy to cut.
I don’t know, but this looks awesome!
That’s a new one to me, I’ve seen tee bridle joints but not haunched. Did you use a router plane for the tenon part?
Yeah - router plane, rip saw, crosscut saw, and chisel to clean up in the socket.
Looks like an exotic alternative spin on a slip joint. Pretty nice!
I will have to try that too.
how many types of joints can you name off the top of your head?
I mostly know the western, European ones but I would say 20-ish. But most of them are variations on the same basic joints.
And I only really know the furniture stuff. With half-timber house framing there are a whole lot of variations that I’m only loosely familiar with.
And then if you get into east-asian (or other regional) joinery there’s amazing worlds of cool stuff using very different techniques, meant for use with different kinds of local wood applied to other systems of living. There are some good books and videos about japanese joinery but I’m also very curious if there’s stuff on other regional styles.
