267316 Nichael Cramer <nichael@s...> 2018‑12‑10 half-lap miter joints? [was: cherry picture frames]

http://www.woodworkersjournal.com/build-stronger-frames-half-lap-miter-joints/
(I'm not recommending the power tools.  I just chose this link only 
because the pictures are clear).

My experience is:
  -- Nice looking (from the front, and vertical --i.e. the visible-- 
sides-- they look the same as "real" miter joints.)
  -- Very easy to do with hand tools.
  -- From my experience, a very solid solid joint.
