Love the gravity weight that you use 😂
How to make Mirror cabinet? Can you use Acrylic Mirror Sheet? or Wall Mirror Stickers? Can you please make a video about that
I don’t have half as nice a saw, but the sled and use of rachet straps is brilliant and I will probably work on a sled soon
Hey bro can you share one of your accurate tri square?
Nobody unplugs the saw
Interesting. How about using a router with the able?
Love your work.. & thanks for this from Sydney, Australia.. I made a PERFECT mitre joint with hardwood spline… It’s solid AF!
Thank you Very much Sir
Thanks
i always try to check if someone makes these videos with simple tools. nope. they always use expensive complex tools and complex methods to achieve this. i believe anyone can do it with practice if you have these expensive saw machines and tools. but anyways nice video. but too complicated, not simple.
This was wonderful. Thank you.
IS THIS MEATHOD STRONG ENOUGH TO HOLD CABINETS , EG 500X450X700 mm
I can’t stress enough how important these minute details are for the final product.
Splines purely an aesthetic feature in modern woodworking. Why? On account of the physical properties of modern glue. From the standpoint of the rational work flow, the spline is far too labour intensive. If you have a mitre joint, then just simply glue it rather than fart about with possibly further inaccuracies…

I love miter joints and do not like using brads or nails. Will be using this on my current project.

Mitre*
I know this is an older video. When using ratchet straps or a web clamp, you can also pull in your corners with pieces of pvc with a quarter of the round cut out of it, or simply fold a small piece of cardboard around the corner before setting the clamp.
Nice
I’ve always used biscuits but this looks to be a much easier method. Thanks! It’s always a good day when you learn something.
As a journeyman redseal joiner in British Columbia, not that means anything at all. But from a fellow professional I love your videos. You explain everything perfectly and accurately. Most importantly, why you’re doing it that way. Kudos.
Would you be able to do this with mdf boxes? (super novice here) I planned to use 1/2" mdf with 5mm wood on each side…and then edge band it. I’m doing it this way because the boxes needed to be 5/8" thick and I don’t have a planer
*Flat-Bottom Blades You Make the Rockin’ World Go ‘Round!* (sorry… couldn’t resist…..)
Didn´t know Stiffler was such a good carpenter
mitre
👍🔨
I don’t have a table saw and I haven’t worked with wood since I was in 9th grade wood shop I’m 1976, but I subscribed!
Can you make a video on cutting different angles other than 45 degrees? There’s no videos on bevel joints on different angles.
I saw someone close a miter gap using steam and watered down glue. Seemed to work well too. Then he used a tool like a screw driver but he went very lightly.
For these types of miter joints try the parallel spline miter. The saw blade stays at 90 deg for the spline slot and you can clamp in just one direction. This only works with plywood but is a great joint.
Standard Elmer’s white glue is PLENTY strong for something like this and has a much longer open time if you need that. (It’s also a PVA like standard wood glues.)
as simple as awesome!
The #1 thing that every woodworker needs most is a nice bright open workshop like shown here. Fantastic! (I will not have that unless I hit the lottery).
2:19 Oops!
cool miter joints! 😀
Excellent
Nice.
Great tip! Thanks, just what I was looking for.
thanks for putting links for the tools, makes it much easier to find the right tools!
how would you miter, with a spline, the edge of a 60" panel? please?
I love all your tools and shop, I wish I could afford tools like that, very nice video
Nice work sir please keep it up
Quick question. Will it be easier to create spline with biscuits jointer?
Great video, really helpful. Just the right amount of detail. Now trying to work out if I can use a router to make the splice notch as I don’t have a table saw. Thanks for the video!
Good project and tips. Especially like the plugs at the end using less expensive plywood for the main body of the spline
Good tips but describing it as easy is not accurate.
Apparently woodworkers on YouTube are not allowed to use a chop/miter saw. That would be too easy. They have to make big table saw rigs so that the table saw essentially becomes a chop saw.
Using an octagonal-ended barbell: brilliant!
