VOTE: 45-degree corners

Maybe it's me, but I fail to see the relationship between those mitred
corners and raised panels.

It's 3/4" thick lumber, with one cut at 45-degree on both sides. Then glued
all together. This makes a "safer" corner rather a sharp pointing edge.

I am asking which would be stronger (obvious Plan A), but was told that one
company does Plan B, so just wondering.

The "un-mitred" lumber would be the raised panels. Otherwise, forget it.

I meant I used Plan A all along. Not Plan B...

Obvious Plan A would be "stronger", but was told that one company does
Plan B, so just wondering.

As for using raised panels, I glue the RP onto the mitred cut, then sand
it. This will leave one side "2-1/2" and other "2-3/4" looks. I know I
could adjust the stiles to compensate... should I? Maybe not.

Hmm, in case you looking at this in a different way, I am looking at the
45-degree corners for the outside, while the inside would be hidden.

I still like using biscuits. I use pocket hole occasionally.

Why? I think it's OK idea, was there a reason for that? Pocket holes?

Hi Chuck,

I never thought of anything like plan "A" until I bought
a Kreg PS jig about 2 weeks ago. It made a lot of sense
to me for my current project where the back side is
not visible (as shown in their owners booklet).

One thing is certain. It requires cutting only one angle
at something other than 90, so if you're trying to fit some
trim, you are only working with one edge.

Don't think that it's perfect for every situation, but it's
a good solution in some.

Add my vote to that to.

With that kind of corner and joint the biscuits are OK but the pocket holes
pull the joint up tighter and more easily. It is often hard to clamp that
type corner joint .

Absolutely Plan A. With "A" you end up with the false corners that hide the
actual joint. These can easily be put together with pocket hole screws if
the inside will not show.

Definitely, neither A nor B seem even remotely correct.

Maybe I'm missing something... but it's not at all clear to me what the
illustrations represent, or what you're asking. Please explain further.
