End Butt Joint. Fig. 92. Material: 2 pieces, 4 1/2" x 11/2" x 7/8".

Fitting the joint: Fit these pieces to each other, end to end, the process of fitting being the same as in the preceding problem.

The work should be done so accurately that, when it is finished, the face edges and the sides of the pieces will form a perfectly straight line with each other. This joint is used where two pieces are butted together, as in lengthening flooring, siding, etc.
