The bevelled shoulder adds greatly to the strength of a mortise and tenon joint, and should never bodispensed with: it renders the junction of the two pieces of timber more exact, and makes the abut-ments of all the fibres stronger and more capable of resistance. The common method of effecting such a junction docs not occupy so much time or labor, but is noiso effective: it is usual to drive one or two wooden pins through holes bored for the purpose at rightangles through the timber in which the mortise is made, as well as through that which has the tenon. Boring the hole for the pin requires to be nicely performed, in order that it may draw (ho tenon tightinto the mortise prep
