that miter might not be the nicest joint I've ever seen
PluckedDuck
Why woodn't it fit?
DasBeaker
Uhhhhhhh. Only asking. But why not use a rubber mallet for this? I would assume you risk less damage to the wood.
TheUndisputedWanderer
My wood is hard
VPDbc
Why the funny tag?
AzgarOgly
Overall, yeah... but some details make me cringe.

Brocktooon
OMG is that wood?! Thank God for helpful titles.
Perturabo81
My wood usually fits and if it doesn't, I also put the hammer down on it.
PaddyPudding
Just about slotted in, I thought it wooden fit
TheMeatClownCometh
At first I thought that wooden’t fit v
Essjaykay
Then put a feckin screw in it....?
loophead61412
I'm questioning the length of the screw.
znexx
Whaddaya mean wooden fit? Looks like it wood fit perfectly!
RadioSilenceDW
Been rewatching stuff like the salvager and I know there is a lot of work that goes into this, but it still amazes mw how accurate it is
TheHunterWarrior
Why the screw!! It so perfect!!!
MrJoker7
mia45
This is the perfect gif that perfectly captures everything
GlynwynTheGog
Why go to all that effort then put a screw through it?
opentokix
Why is the steel screw not long enough to reach the dark wood?
astrangehop
Maybe that would make it weaker?
admiralcrackbar
Because it doesn't need to.
ShearShotgun
That screw isnt long enough to secure both pieces to the base. I am bothered
tekime
Screw is short so legs are removable I’m guessing

Perfekt fit uses hammer
CirB
Sorry to be pedantic, but a mallet. There's a difference in this case.
eowli
That is far from a perfect fit, yeah it fits tight, but the cuts/carves are uneven
MartianPudding
Isn’t it the point of those kinds of joints to not use nails or screws?
Trentski
Their primary purpose is joint strength. Not being able to easily see any attachment hardware is typically a sign of good craftsmanship.

I feel like op is sarcastic
SimonCroft
Why not benefit from
lDanielHolm
The screw just holds the two sides together, and is removable. Normally you'd use glue.
loftius
Purist would probably use a wooden dowel but who got time for that.

I wood love to be able to make furniture like this.
sweatybuttcrack
I joint you in your view
Compound515
This piece in particular is not overly difficult.... Get some used tools and a little patience and you will be making furniture in no time
LasciviousHedgehog
From experience the premium is less on the tools (definitely get used) but rather the materials (and if in the UK, space)
thedeg
Oh definitely space. Tools you can amass over time.
ColonelCrabs
Do you happen to build furniture in Scotland? At a furniture school?
No, just a small hobby.
non101
Beautiful, but the steel screw feels like sacrilege.
Dashingdane
It's never going to be visible, it's just there to keep the leg on
KillingTlme
It also looks too short to hold all 3 pieces together and the top two could come loose together.
YoureGoingToJail
Nah its just a wood screw painted metallic
themanthemyththebellend
Yeah, why not use a dowl pin?
Meeksamix
I believe there’s a screw so this can be flat packed. But yeah, heresy.
Yep. Especially if it goes to the post. Shouldn't put in screws grain-wise.
SonOfSeinfeld
Not sure but it doesn’t look long enough to reach the post.
HaroldLoveggs
I agree, it looks only long enough to tie the two crosspieces together.
Falanxzealot
Unless you predrill to core dimension. There's nothing wrong with threading into a clearance, so long as the screw is appropriately sized
It's not the splitting I'm worried about (although without predrilling it's a concern), but that the screw won't grip properly grainwise.
That's more a function of the thread depth with respect to the closeness of grain for a given timber.
Partly yes, I guess. That said, I've always been taught to not put a screw grainwise, but always across grain.
eldorel
This can still cause issues with humidity changes even if you pre-drill. Especially when anchoring cross-grain to end grain like this.
If the air gets drier than during construction, granted.
relicen
Not a big issue inside an appartment or house.
That depends on where you live. In the southern US for example, you'll get 20-30% humidity variations even inside the house with AC going.
