Biscuit Joinery Tips & Tricks | Cabinetry Biscuit Joints

[@DavidR8]

It's refreshing to see videos about biscuit joinery in this day of Festool Domino madness! Thank you!

[@geoffsjoinery4990]

Great to hear, good on you 👍

[@chrispetruccelli]

This was exactly what I needed for a current project. Great instruction...thank you!

[@geoffsjoinery4990]

You’re welcome 👍😊

[@DougOtte]

Thank you very much for sharing your tips and trips. I'll be using my biscuit joiner this weekend, to build my first set of shelves for my family, and I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video!

[@geoffsjoinery4990]

That’s very kind of you your welcome 👍

[@aussieawake7548]

Thank you so much this was exactly what I needed to see I’m making a small set of shelves to hold small dropper bottles 💜🌺

[@artdecco8617]

What if there are Two shelves on either side of the verticle? Do you stagger the biscuits ? or use #10 biscuits ? so that they don't hit each other in the same groove ?

[@geoffsjoinery4990]

I had a previous build making a bookcase with this situation however the material was thicker - 25mm so I didn't have that problem. The easiest way would be to stagger the biscuits instead of using smaller ones (#10) to give it more surface area and strength. Good luck with your project 👍

Great video. Keep them coming!

[@geoffsjoinery4990]

Thanks for your support

[@HadiBalhareth]

Thanks for sharing you experience Geoff .. very helpful

[@mrki412]

Just today I've made my first cabinet with biscuits, great thing for melamine and love to work with biscuit joiner.

[@geoffsjoinery4990]

Good stuff 👍

[@IfDawidCanYouCan]

Thank you for sharing the tips. As myself am going to try out the Biscuit Jointer for the first time I am not sure what to do.. I need to use the biscuits to join a 2x4 to 2x3 to create a ‘L’ Shape for the Legs of my Feed table. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in Advance! I believe, *_Our World_* is a *_Shared Experience_* … Remember, *_Life_* is *_Short_* so, *_Live Long_* and *_Prosper_* … 🖖 Cheers Mate!!!

[@geoffsjoinery4990]

Yeah good on you for giving it a go remember, there is other options for your application of joining 4x2 to the 2x3 like using dowels or even pocket hole screws... Good luck with your project 👍

[@IfDawidCanYouCan]

​@@geoffsjoinery4990 Much appreciated! As a DIYer and novice to woodworking, I am following a Plan from another KZbinrs where he used Biscuits Joint, which I never did hence wanted to try. Nevertheless, thank you for reminding me those two methods. Highly appreciated mate! Have a good afternoon! Cheers!!!

There's no need to use your 90 degree support when plunging into the shelf area of the gables. You can use the shelf itself - or any straight edge for that matter - to act as a guide. Then go ahead and hold the baseplate of the joiner up against the edge guide and plunge your joiner's blade down into the gable. Bing, bang, boom; quick and easy and no need for any special shop made guide.

[@JoshTolbertUrbana]

Hey, thank you for the video! I was just about to embark on another project that involves mid shelves, and I'd planned on using biscuit joinery, so the timing is perfect! Thanks again.

[@geoffsjoinery4990]

Great to hear 👍

[@amit232s]

Thanks 🙏

Hello. How would you do it if your board has 1-2mm ABS edges and you have to move the counter board (usually by the thickness of the ABS edge). I hope you know what I mean. Thank you

[@bentontool]

Curious... what do you do if the biscuits are too loose (like mine)? I am actually considering taking my blade to the surface grinder and taking a few thou off each tooth!

[@geoffsjoinery4990]

Generally speaking, if the biscuits are loose, then the glue will take up the slack it may only be an issue if you are trying to line edges up flush and accurately, but most times when using biscuits you will need to clamp your components together so it’s not a real big deal

[@AnayaMalik-l5v]

Hey sir can u tell how increase size of biscuits for commercial use with less ingredient

[@geoffsjoinery4990]

Not to sure what you mean, increasing the size of the biscuit slot is easy, just continue each side of your reference mark.

[@jbuttigieg]

Very helpful, thanks :)😊

[@jacekbernat8574]

Super 👏 🇵🇱

[@patbird9694]

Hey Geoff Whats method is stronger. Using a series of 6 biscuits number 20 (for both sides) for shelves and titebond 2 and clamping it Or method 2 Creating dados for shelves and screwing it. Using 3 screws on each sides and glue. I have been using both methods and find no difference. Like to hear your opinion

[@geoffsjoinery4990]

Hi mate, probably your method #2, the dados are deeper and if you said you can get 3 x screws each side plus glue, that’s going to be strong. Thanks for watching.👍

[@tomirwin4819]

Just do it

[@tom-greg]

Thanks! I think this is a great way to do it without the jig: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGjXnWtteLl8sJo

[@geoffsjoinery4990]

Yes they are roughly in the centre
