Nice tips, Tom. In particular, the "dowel" system is cheap, fast and easy. Only issue is it's probably unsuitable for thin frames 'cause you don't have space enough for the dowel. In that case, brads probably are the only reinforcement available.

[@CasualDIY]

Yes for thin frames you are looking at brads or furniture staples

Fantastic tips, Tomasz! Thanks! 😃 The idea of the dowel is brilliant! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@CasualDIY]

Thank you kindly my friend 👍

[@barry.w.christie]

Another good list of tips ... hadn't thought of using a dowel in that way, I'd say put that on the front and make it a feature of the frame ... excellent content as usual 👍

[@CasualDIY]

Thanks Barry

Great video! You explain things so simply and clearly. I really appreciate that! Thank you!

[@CasualDIY]

Glad it was helpful!

Terrific presentation of these ways to strengthen miters, Tomas. I'd never known of the rear doweling idea, which is quick & easy. Nailing is fine, just not so artistic. The biscuit joiner approach is very simple compared to the TS jig. Thank you -- you are one of the most creative woodworkers on KZbin!

[@CasualDIY]

Thank you kindly 👍

I never thought of using my biscuit joiner to make the spline cut before. But like you I prefer to use the table saw and a spline jig. I have used the dowel method a few times which is quick and easy. Cheers 👍😎🇦🇺

[@CasualDIY]

The dowel method is an interesting one and easy to do. Biscuit jointer is a good option as well if you want to make quick splines that are not too large.

Tomasz Tip from a photographer. Check the white balance and light levels before you publish. I'm seeing very bright blue tinged lighting. No - not my monitor!

[@CasualDIY]

I was messing around with Luts in my software but it looked OK for me 🤔 I'll go back to my original settings then 😅

[@idlersdream826]

I've not seen the dowel option before, thanks. Staples across the rear joint is another option. Actually, you also don't necessarily need a table saw jig to achieve the cut, as demonstrated here by Inspire Woodcraft - kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4Ozk56Li9iJrrM

[@CasualDIY]

Hmm I think I wouldn't feel safe using that technique, potential kickback happening with that setup.
