Fig. 54.—Carpentry Tie Joint.
[Figs. 49 and 50] indicate the halving of cross pieces which have their edges moulded; the pieces are shown separately, the moulding being omitted to give a clearer representation of the method of construction.
| Fig. 55.—Cross Halving Joint with Housed Corners. | Fig. 56.—The parts of Fig. 55 shown separate. |
[Fig. 51] is an "Oblique Cross Halving Joint" where the two pieces are not at right angles. A plan and elevation of the joint are shown at the left, whilst a sketch of one piece of the joint is given in the right-hand illustration.
[Figs. 52 and 53] are principally used as Manual Training models, and call for patience and manual dexterity.
[Fig. 54] is used in carpentry and joinery where a tie or cross piece ties joists or beams at an angle.
[Fig. 55] shows the elevation and end view of a "Cross Halving Joint" with housed or notched shoulders. This joint is seldom used in actual practice. The separate parts are given in [Fig. 56].
At [Fig. 57] are shown two cross rails and an upright halved together. This type of joint is used where three pieces meet, as is the case in building the framing of a poultry house. The joint is nailed together.
