The finger joint, the fingers must line up or the joint won’t work. In the final frame after viewing, if the pale and dark timbers both had long fingers on the outsid, you would be in trouble. Adjusting the router bit height would overcome this.
Well done !!!
When the grain lined up. 😊 6:18
Doing a low budget roofing job for my shed. Can 4×2 or 6×2 rafters be joined like this ? My wood is in 2m lengths but my span is 5m. It’s only a tin roof but I wanted to connect the short timbers for maximum flexural strength. Not interested in cosmetic look, or is there a better easier way to connect two timbers end to end eg bracing with side plates ? Thanks.
I want to make a baseball bat but having trouble finding 3×3 maple
Thanks
Have you tried a biscuit on the end and use a Kreg screw to tighten it up?
I really like your butt joining clamp! Thank you for this easy solution.
Good lessons. Thank you Sir
hello, thx for this nice video.
I have a question. How can one join small parts on a jointer? I mean something like 30 mm tall 40 mm width and 200 mm long, and on the one side it is not 40 mm but 10 mm?
Thank you SO much! The clamp that you showed at the beginning is exactly what I need to make! I’m trying to repurpose my old coffee table & end table into a desk. I didn’t want to waste any wood, nor have to buy anymore. I’ll use whatever is left over to make shelves! Ta-da, new office set-up!
Dang! I thought you’d invented a board stretcher 😀 I volunteer in a woodshop and have randomly asked newbies to get the board stretcher for me … and watched them look all over the shop before asking where it was. Thanks for the tips! Also, if you’re going to glue oily exotics, you’ll want to clean the glue surface with acetone before applying glue. Learned the hard way as we all do.
Great video Collin!
Can those be used to connect two boards for bench seat base? I am trying to upcycle old boards but neither is long enough on it’s own.
Soak them in viagra
What is stronger? 2-pieces of 2×4 oak glued to make a 3" thick piece, or a solid 3" thick piece
Thank you
Thank you for the great videos it helped me a lot keep it going god bless you
Sir: who manufactures the dowel jig??..thank you
I still can’t find the board stretcher… been looking for years.
wood stretcher??? come on your pulling my leg im not falling for that lol
Thanks for yet another great and useful video/teaching.
Edit: Do you think the jig for gluing butt joints would be better if the bottom pieces were a bit wider? Thanks. God Bless.
