New Joint?

[cubicdissection]

So I'm making a puzzle which has a frame and some acrylic panels slotted into grooves .100 inside the edge. Rather than do a triple miter joint (which is a PITA since you have six angles of cumulative error), I came up with this. It's a hybrid between a miter joint and a rabbit/shoulder. Very strong, and still hides any grooves you decide to make for panels.

Anyway, I thought I'd post it since it seems like a pretty good solution for boxes, and should work at any scale. If no one's seen it before, guess I'll name it the "Fuller" joint

It is a handsome joint and catchy title (must be named some guy for "Eric Fuller"), but I would assume it would need to be glues to form the cube corner -- if it is part of a puzzle and unglued, then how would it stay together? BTW, nice wood and nice crisp cuts.

This joint looks closely akin to what is used in a mining system called square set bracing developed by Philippe Diedesheimer in the early 1860s at Virginia City, NV.

The link doesn't show the joint but the sytem did use one.
I guess it proves great minds think alike even if they are almost 150 years apart. I think it'd be fine to call it a Fuller Joint, though.

Nicely done Eric, I recently read an article about traditional Japanese intricate joinery and your joint reminded me of that article.
