The accompanying; drawings show three ordinary forms of oblique mortise-and-tenon joints. In each case they are first set out ready for sawing and mortising, and then prepared for fixing together. The mortise shown by Figs. 1 and 2 is rather difficult to make, owing to it going obliquely through the wood. The joint shown by Figs. 3 and 4 would not be wedged, but fixed by gluing or pinning. Figs. 5 and 6 show a haunched joint which can be wedged.
