You should always angle your cuts just a hair off 45 so that when assembling the box, the tips of the outer corners touch first. Clamping pressure will then ensure a perfect fit, and also accommodate some future shrinkage. Great video!

@@lukeritchie8080 slightly less than 45 degrees, so like 44.9. At about 1:13 in the video Brad illustrates this: with an angle less than 45 degrees, the outside edge touches before the inside edge, so the gap is hidden inside the box, which is better to the alternative where the gap is on the outside.

To avoid a gap on the outer corners; don't try to set the table saw to exactly 45° but to a small fraction over 45° (about 45¼°). This will move any gaps to the inside corner. They will be much less visible but they will still be small enough that they will close up when the box is glued and clamped.

I made L shaped wood pieces to protect the corners when clamping. You can make them out of 8/4 hardwood, or you can glue two 1x2"s together with a 45 degree bevel on one side. Then I just cut the long L shaped piece into short 1 1/2" long pieces to use on corners. That way you can use any ratchet strap to clamp with. Using painter's take to hold them to the strap until tightening helps if you don't have a helper.
@buddythompson52844 жыл бұрын
Some good tips here, thanks. I'll share that i find if you use a flat-topped blade to make the bevel cuts, especially on plywood, you get better fitting mitered edges than using an ATB blade. It's hard to see, but the ATB blades leave a similar uneven edge cut to what you saw at the bottom of the spline cuts, making the edges less likely to close up nicely.

Thanks, I learned a lot from your video. Question. When using solid wood for the box & no edge banding, have you ever stopped the cuts for the spline slots short of the edges. This would keep the splines from showing, but still give the benefit of extra joint strength & ease of assembly. I want to try this method, but would like to hear from someone who has already done it.

4:45 I think I have strong doubts: Yes the spline material bends more, but its job is to not let the two sides move/break apart. A job the spline will do better if it's cross-grain than long-grain (because long-grain is easier to break lengthwise than cross-grain, obviously). I'd never thought about it, but would logically not all spline material be best cut cross-grain for that reason? "Less straight" doesn't matter, as the sides of the box are stronger anyway.
