I show how I made a Bird’s Beak Joint similar to the ones used in instruments made by Martin Guitars prior to 1917.

Very similar to the birds beak joint (but not the same thing!) is the V-Joint, that you can find in many classical guitars. I highly recommend this video by luthier James Lister:

This article by John Greven and Charles Freeborn was also super helpful for me:
