Fifty decorative templates available \ T A Simple "T" liridle This is a useful joint for frames with intermediate rails - ihose in which one member joins another along its length, rather than at iisends. (For convenience and consistency. I'll call the tenoned member the rail and the mortised one the stile.) Here, the "tenon" has four shoulders instead of two, and is formed by removing material on both faces of the rail. Layout is almosi the same as for ihe corner joint. 1 usually mark ihe shoulders on the rail directly from the stile, as shown in photos P and Q. Scribe the tenon and mortise cheeks as before with a mortise gauge bearing on the w orking faces to ensure alignment at assembly. You can cul the mortise with a band saw, bil and chisel as described previ ously. There are a number of ways to cut the tenon—on the table saw or radial-arm saw. wilh a router, or hacksaw and Photo P. Q: You con layout the shoulders for a "T" bridle directly from the stile, as shown here. Position the stile against the rail, placing a square firmly against one edge. Mark the position of the edge away from the square IP), then remove the stile and scribe the first shoulder against the square with the knife (Q), then align the square with the nick and scribe the second shoulder. Carry the scribed lines across an edge to the stile's other face and knife the shoulder lines there. Woodworking Basics Continued Photo O: .4 bridle-jointed frame may require a scaffolding of clamps when gluing up. so assemble the frame dry to plan the placement of the clamps. You can remove the pipe clamps after the cheek clamps are in place, although you may want to keep the shoulders drawn light with pipe clamps until the glue sets. visible outer edges.

Sometimes the pipe clamps can be removed after the cheek clamps are in place, but check to see that the shoulders don't open slightly when pressure is relieved.

Assembly Alihough bridle joints arc easier to cul than standard mortise-and-tenons. they are more trouble to assemble. While a standard joint requires a clamp in only one direction (to pull the tenon into the mortise), a corner bridle joint may require clamps in Ihrcc directions, as show n in Photo O. After brushing glue evenly on both the tenon and mortise cheeks and pushing the joint (or complete frame) together. 1 place a pipe clamp parallel lo the rail to pull ihe tenon shoulders light. Another pipe clamp parallel to the slile pulls the lenon against the end of the mortise.
