A GREAT non-structural joint enhancement! !! !!!

Thank you and thanks for watching!

Thanks for the good spline designs. Couldn’t you glue the corner first, then with the blade at 45 degrees and the corner in a 45 degree spline jig, cut the kerfs so the splines would add strength?

Hi Courtney - you could, yes, but keep in mind your cuts would have to be 100% precise. It is one of those things that's easier said than done. Personally I don't think that I'd ever be able to line things up cleanly enough. Your wood would need to be 100% flat and square on each plane. Wood glue is strong enough that it allegedly creates a bond that is as strong as the wood itself. Additional structural rigidity on a joint like this may not be needed.

Those look great, but I really don't understand why you wouldn't just use a spline jig with your blade set to 45* - then they'd be both functional and pretty. Also would be a lot faster.

Hi Darren - i did it this way as I didn't want to deal with the precision required getting the cuts to line up precisely. Is it possible that way, for sure! Thank you for watching!
