Abstract

An improved system for making notch on notch joints and the like wherein the members to be joined have notches formed across a portion of their width. Each member includes a longitudinal extension beyond the notch and these extensions cooperate to form a joint which has a flush exterior and yet is substantially as strong as a conventional notched joint. One configuration allows the same joint members to be employed to form inline, right-angled and T-shaped joints.
