T&@G ? how to?
not really into woodworking but need to make a door frame. Current one has what I think is "tongue and groove joint"?
Due to size, the tools I have to make this is saw, chisel and drill press.
Adive and tips on how to make this.
I presume I mark the joint, taking into account of the saw wdidth.
Do I make the tongue or grovve first? ( I guess the groove as it will be easier to trim the tongue width down.
How do I ensure the saw follows the lines in the groove - go slowly and make many checks ans the cut is made?
Also for the groov - I plan to drill a big hole at the bottom of the groove that meets the saw cuts, then tidy up with a chisel.
Good plan or just lay one on top of other and use metal straps?

Is the frame a special size?
If not I'd be tempted to go down to Howdens / Magnet or even B&Q and buy a standard frame from them. B&Q want £14 for a 1981 x 726 x
114 door frame.
Cheers

If it's for the garage I'd have cut it at 45° and nailed it together. Screwing it to the wall will keep it firm.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

You can also buy a special dril / chisel that fits into a drill press that works a treat !! Easier than trying to use a chisel to form the slot.
Personally I do all mine using a router and template i made. Also works great for doing the hinges

If what youre after is indeed a mortice an tennon joint in the frame corner then Idealy you will need a marking guage, a tennon saw , pencil, ruler, a
couple of sharp chisels , a mallet, a tri square (or a good square template , factory cut mellamine is usualy very acurately square) and several
sticking plasters and copious running water to wash the sawdust out of your eyes . I speak from many years of experience starting with the trip to
casualty following my woodwork "O" level exam (passed with a B)
good luck
ahh the diagram has now apeared a simple open mortice , make sure you allow saw width in your marking up and make sure the tennon is plenty fat enough
to start with,then you can always shave it down with a good broad chisel till it fits nice and snug. The sense of achievement is why we do these
things if not we'd all drive factory made cars

^^^ yep - re: sendse of achievement .... until it goes t*ys up!
I looked in my BIG BOOK of EVERYTHING and it is know as a "bridle joint" 
and the book more or less describes the process much as I tough.
need to pop out at lunchtime to buy a marking guage and a tenon saw.
