How to Make a Castle Joint

An EASY Way to Make AMAZING Woodworking Joinery

Give your project a dynamic look by making one of the most impressive woodworking joints in the world. The above video shows how to make it, plus BONUS info on making a tenoning jig that will blow open your possibilities for making insanely cool woodworking joinery.

I like trying to make unique woodworking joints and this time I decided to tackle the castle joint. This joinery method can look really difficult; all of the boards have to align perfectly. When they do, your woodworking project looks otherworldly! Here’s the thing…it isn’t difficult to make this woodworking joint! It’s actually pretty simple and just takes a little bit of planning. Another massive positive for using this joinery technique is it requires no real measuring. You’ll notice in the video that I don’t take any measurements. I simply reference lumber off of each other. Eliminating the math helps to eliminate the errors!

If you want to try making a castle joint and a bunch of other cool woodworking joint, make this tenon jig. Here’s the plans:
