Making a 45 Degree Pairing Block For Perfect Miters

Cutting a perfect miter joint just got a whole lot easier! I built this pairing block so I could add mitered faces to dovetail and mortise and tenon joints. The fence can be attached to either side of the block so I can also use this appliance for wide boards. How it works - mark out the miter and cut it proud of the line. Then, place the pairing block on top of your work. Move a chisel along the face of the block to remove material from the miter. The block will act as a guide for the chisel keeping it at the correct angle. #handtools #woodworking #asmr
