[@FredMcIntyre]

Thanks for the info Guy! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

[@frankcornfield5915]

Fantastic instructional video from a master.

[@jccbsl1]

Excellent video! I've never explored creative uses for my biscuit joiner. It may actually get used more than once a year now!

[@GuysShop]

Wonderful!

[@drochon6672]

I use my biscuit joiner a lot. Thanks to this video, I’ll be using it more.

[@GuysShop]

Very Cool!

[@betrickey]

Great video!! I have been using my biscuit jointer for years and i am always looking for new ways to use it.

[@BlessedLaymanNC]

I love how you made the slot in the board for the shelf. I can't help but think that you could use it to make a spline joint. For a hidden joint, you could stop before you get to the end of the board like the end where you started. For slide on shelf, you could cut a partial inside the cabinet and add the spline. Then, use the shelf you cut in the video to slide over the spline. Depending on the use of the shelf, it may not need to be glued so it can be removable.

[@BCFoolin]

Great information! Thank you!

[@Joe_Veno]

Good stuff Guy! Enjoyed this. Make more of these tip videos. 😎👍

[@ericcommarato7727]

Glad to see the biscuit jointer back in action. Seems like everyone is tossing them for the Festool Domino.

[@GuysShop]

They both have their place in my shop

[@kachboubou83]

Awesome tips. Thanks very much

[@g-dadsworkshop8503]

Love these tips. Very clever. Thanks Guy!

[@GuysShop]

My pleasure!

[@ralphlivingston894]

I learned a lot. I especially liked the 180°/90° use on mitered corners. I had not seen that before and it was an eye-opener. Usually, A slot for a spline is cut on the tablesaw using a homemade jig. For me, your technique is much more doable. Thank you so much! (I love learning new stuff)

[@GuysShop]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@a9ball1]

You had a couple in there that I didn't think of. Thanks 👍

[@neilf4128]

[@GuysShop]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ReferenceFidelityComponents]

Great set of tips Guy. Been a speaker maker for years yet never tried these tips as I’ve usually used a router jig and router to form grooved joints fir internal bracing and glued up everything in one go which is tricky. This looks to be a great alternative

[@grayharwood]

You should showcase your work on YT

[@wb_finewoodworking]

[@ramaroodle]

I knew that jointer was good for other stuff, especially the shelf. Thanks!

[@GuysShop]

[@TheFalconJetDriver]

My only concern is that using the biscuits the biscuit is holding the entire load load, this would be good for light weight item on the shelf.🤣🛫

[@davecurda2350]

Nice to see a video from you.

[@GuysShop]

More to come!

[@davecurda2350]

GuysWoodshop happy to hear that as you are a great craftsman and I really enjoy your work.

[@skipclark9521]

Great video. Next one should be on the Zeta P2.

[@GuysShop]

Great suggestion!

[@huejanus5505]

Very good tips and tricks.

[@GuysShop]

Many many thanks

[@marcosdallasguy1313]

What a nice pencil. Nicely sharpened.

[@GuysShop]

Thanks!

[@johnnestor7386]

Thank you

[@GuysShop]

You're welcome

[@Tilburger72]

Nice. Unfortunately the Zeta P2 is expensive for a hobbyist like me but I see the advantages of a biscuit joiner

[@GuysShop]

Yeah, the Zeta is not really for the hobbyist, however this video was all about techniques, and can be done by any biscuit joiner

[@weekendwarrior9570]

excellent

[@GuysShop]

Thanks!

[@quovadis5172]

Hallo Guy. Great to see you posting again. Great tips too. How would you flush trim the raised solid front face to the panel? Currently I am using a palm router with a flush trim bit, but find that I am not really getting the accuracy and tight tolerance I am after?

[@GuysShop]

I use the small Dewalt router with a3/8" flush trim bit

[@BarbaryStudio]

Very informative video i will buy this machine

[@GuysShop]

Good choice

[@constantinosschinas4503]

Is there any advantage to the joiners that have the separate 90degree fence? Because the cannot be used flush without removing the fence, which is a great pain. Great video.

[@BigmoRivera]

Great Job Nicely Done 👍🔨📐

[@GuysShop]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@bunkersaver4980]

Hello Guy, great work as always. I asked this question on another video, but this technique should work with the domino?

[@NomadMakes]

Really great video. I don't have a biscuit jointer, but this video made me consider getting one. Thanks.

[@NomadMakes]

@@SuperBowser87 Well. I was not considering the Lamello. But one of those 25-30 dollar ones... ;-)

[@omerkeinan4784]

As always a great teaching video. Is the first tip applicable for miters that do not add up to 90 degree? Thanks!

[@GuysShop]

I would think so and it would really be dependent on the angles you are trying to join

[@donaldguilbault7433]

The Lamello fence has a 45 degree notch designed to register off of the outside point and locks in really nicely. Also Lamello makes a clamping biscuit that transverses a miter. (E20-L & E20-H) Colonial Saw is an imported of Lamello has great tutorial videos of all products and biscuit joiners.

[@GuysShop]

I am very familiar with the notch and also the half biscuits for clamping. I wanted to do tips for every biscuit joiner, not just the Lamello. This is meant for everyone.

[@donaldguilbault7433]

That's kind of what I figured but I didn't know if you were new to the Lamello yourself.

[@ginoasci2876]

you missed one that goes inside the miter. nice biscuit jointer you have there. i’m so tempted to get one, at $1300 is that the Lemello Zeta P2 ?
