The strangest comment spam, just blocked:
The butt joint is the simplest joint to make since it merely involves cutting the members to the appropriate length and butting them together.
It is also the weakest because unless some form of reinforcement is used (see below) it relies upon glue alone to hold it together.
Because the orientation of the members usually present only end grain to long grain gluing surface, the resulting joint is inherently weak.
The butt joint is a very simple joint to construct. Members are simply docked at the required angle (usually 90В°) and required length.
One member will be shorter than the finished size by the thickness of the adjacent member.
For enclosed constructions, such as four-sided frames or boxes, the thickness of the two adjacent members must be taken into consideration.
For example: when constructing a four sided box made from 19mm thick material that is to be of finished size 600mm x 600mm, two of the members will be I4oTuFskPCc4 docked at 600mm and two will be docked at 600mm - 19mm - 19mm = 562mm.
So.
“DISPORT CUBE - IT’S IQ CUBE”, seen today in a pound shop in Broadmarsh Shopping Centre:
Alledgedly not limited to the traditional cube shape (see packaging).
I took one out of the box and tried it.
It Really work!
No it doesn’t.

When I started my old job, I had to take an aptitude test, set by a company called Parity. They sent back a letter with my results, which I just found whilst having a clear out…
This person shows signs of superior logical ability and is a consistently careful worker. He made no errors at all, and he works much faster than the average pace.
This test shows that he is really really clever, and everyone thinks so, especially girls, who really fancy him and want to have his babies. Oh yes. This person will become a superior systems analyst/programmer, and is undoubtedly a superior lover as well.
We recommend him for employment in systems analysis/programming, with a salary of at least £50k, a company car, and plenty of scotch eggs.
