No Wood Putty! - A quick tip for fixing

miter joints

If you've ever experienced the frustration of
discovering that "little gap" on the outside of
your miter joint, you'll appreciate this quick
tip.

Woodworkers often try to hide these gaps
with wood putties or other fillers, but there's
a faster and easier way to solve this
problem.

If the gap is small, you can use the edge of a
screwdriver to subtly round over the corners.
The corners will close in and mask the gap.
The effect is very subtle but effective.
