Cut list¶

side  400 x 200 x 20 mm  oak
      - mitre 45 deg on right_end, bottom_face inside
top   500 x 200 x 20 mm  oak
      - mitre 45 deg on left_end, bottom_face inside

Code¶

From woodwright/examples/joints.py, which imports the names it uses (see From an example to your own design):

def edge_mitre_corner(
    side_height: float = 400, top_length: float = 500, depth: float = 200, stock: Stock = OAK
) -> Assembly:
    """A carcase corner mitred across the edges, so no end grain shows; outside lengths."""
    asm = Assembly("edge_mitre_corner", root_location=CASE_SIDE)
    side = asm.add(Board("side", stock, length=side_height, width=depth))
    top = asm.add(Board("top", stock, length=top_length, width=depth))
    asm.join(MitreCorner(side.right_end, top.left_end, side.bottom_face, top.bottom_face))
    return asm
