Scarfing is uncomplicated. Method depends on what tools you have.

I will Google the jig... and I have access to just about everything except CNC equipment as my wife has been collecting woodworking tools for birthday- and Xmas presents for years. And I built her a 32x24 shop. I just wanted to make sure the joint was strong, but it looks like I may have over-complicated it.

Whether you want to get that fancy depends on how many joints in your wood and how patient you are . . .

I've only been planning this for the last decade or so... I'm now ready to get working! LOL
