How To Easily Make Internally Splined Miter Joints / How To Strengthen A Miter Joint With Splines

[@ilive4livemusic]

You have really carved out a niche for yourself as the guy who finds the simplest and most efficient way to do things and then films and explains them brilliantly. Can’t wait to see your sub numbers grow dramatically as others discover you

[@toootankhamooon]

You could write a book with that much thinking into the details , awesome work , keep it up , we seriously appreciate you jodi 👍👏

@@davemartin7167 haha , thats funny , my mistake , sorry jodi

[@toootankhamooon]

@@davemartin7167 i’ll correct it , thanks 🙏

[@davemartin7167]

No worries.

[@finnmaccool3385]

You have NOWHERE NEAR (shouting intended!) the number of subscribers that your content deserves. Simple, clear, no BS and most importantly, really f*kn useful tips and tricks! Thanks again for yet another great video :)

[@Gnswoodwors]

Is hard to find someone that explains everything with out hiding information, thank you and I definitely going to use you method, thanks again.

[@davidhughes7888]

I watch a lot of KZbin vids and YOU are good. Many thanks.

[@jadam-2024]

Thank you for this info. At the risk of sounding stupid (never stopped me before), I think anyone who’s worked with a natural material knows that sometimes numbers or ruler marks can lie. It’s better to find a way to allow the material to do your calculations and that’s what you’re doing. Great job

[@PeterWoloszyn]

Absolutely agree.

[@jwm6314]

That note on grain direction is a great one. Most people never cover that. Your "no measure" techniques are game changers. I mean that. Eliminating all the margins and opportunities for errors makes precise work, not just faster work.

[@elresre]

I have probably watched thousands of woodworking videos over the many years, your videos and the explanation you provide is the best!

[@johiahross9025]

I agree fully!

[@InspireWoodcraft]

Thank you very, very much for this comment.

[@rf8driver]

Totally agree with your comment. Was going to write a comment but you said it all.

[@misterm9359]

No one will love every video, but we can always learn something if we’re open minded. I was just watching a video on riving knifes and splitters. And was immediately reminded of your video. This method would work great for making a splitter if you make your own zero clearance table saw plate or any plate. Thanks for the idea and inspiration. Truly the best part of KZbin is learning tips from other craftsman. Thanks.

[@Andyloveswood]

This and the last few videos are especially good. They teach not only specific techniques, but a way of thinking through the geometry of joints, and a way of achieving precision not possible with measuring and transferring measurements. Really great. Thanks.

[@jasonhyde7351]

Been following for a while now. Just want to say I really like the content, as well as your presentation (simple and to the point).

[@InspireWoodcraft]

Thank you very much for the kind comment.

[@terrmaso]

Again perfect timing👍 Making a frame for the Valentine's Day gift I got my wife. Now I know how to use the extremely red oak I have, to make a visible spline insert in the very white oak I have.

[@vialegno]

You are my absolute favorite mentor! Very well explained and easy to understand 😊. Thank you thank you

[@deanaoxo]

Another great one. Eliminating the ruler, or as i say, not using the yard stick, is one of the best ways to cut out the middle man. Let your material dictate the dimensions. Good stuff.

[@purpleyams8738]

I love videos. The way you explain and demo your discoveries and/or simple tip sharing completely rings bells with me. Looking forward to all your future content.

[@waynesworld1944]

I tried it and I was very pleased with my 1st internal spline. Thanx for your great videos. Very helpful.

[@bobbyadamo152]

I just got set up to convert my daughters van into a camper. I have to make and install 2 overhead cabinets and this video was an absolute blessing. Thanks for sharing this, I love any info that helps me step up my techniques. Great video !

[@glennmiller9487]

Excellent and Simple once you understand the principle. Enjoy all of your videos. Thanks.

[@fredsasse9973]

An excellent example of how accuracy is increased by not measuring for tool set up, rather using the workpieces as set up gages! I've bookmarked this video for future reference. Thanks!!!

[@jameswyatt1304]

Really nice technique and good explanation of the theory behind it.

[@russelljohnson4527]

one of the things I admire is that you DON'T do a lot of Uh, Um, Er fillers. YOU wrote and practiced this presentation and it SHOWS! very well done!

[@jacksonianc]

As someone who consistently makes mistakes measuring and setting up cuts, I am so glad I've found your channel. The approach you take to thinking out the problem and finding a solution is excellent. Thank you!

[@cyrilnorrie8450]

This is brilliant! I have learned a lot of tricks from watching your videos, many of them showing how to get more accurate results because there’s no measuring involved. Most woodworkers know that measuring is one of the most common sources of errors. Thanks for sharing these tips and please continue to enlighten us.😊

[@jameslockwood5113]

Your approach of always using the wood’s dimensions (instead of having to always measure), is brilliant! Significantly reduces error; thank you so much!

[@egbluesuede1220]

I've been binging on your shop tips, and the way you use relative dimensions instead of traditional measuring tools is really creative and super accurate. I'm a pretty experienced wood working, but I'm learning a lot from you! Thanks!

[@zabihtoosky658]

Brilliant. One of the best woodworking channels on KZbin

[@charliesandner2362]

Works perfectly. Among a ton of other type small boxes, I make inlayed dovetailed corner boxes. They are just edge to edge dovetails mitered. They are just like any other miter too--weak. I need to hide the spline in this case. I always struggle with the spline slot, as I don't want to hake a mistake since I spent the time to make dovetails. This method is fool-proof, and I am living proof. What you do is so simple, and so logical. Kinda embarrassing for me really... I should have thought of doing that myself.

[@davidpalmer5166]

This is a LOT more accurate than trying to measure to get this setups. I love the idea of not measuring but using the setup block idea. My old eyes miss don't see measurements as well as they used to. Thank you

[@boatdetective]

Accurate, repeatable, practical. There is a certain economy of motion in the best work that makes the workmanship elegant. Well done, sir.

[@tin-man5687]

Wish I had known about this several projects ago. Now I'm looking forward to trying it on future projects.

[@Trainman0401]

Brilliant and Simple! Thanks for sharing!

[@mikegrier2829]

More great content and explained perfectly, as well. Makes me think “yeah, I can do that”.

[@aps-pictures9335]

I’m constructing a built in wardrobe in an old property - so have to build/glue in situ. Can’t use external splines as couldn’t stand it up after glueing - so this works great! Cheers

[@Zamboni-0805]

Very simple and well explained way to get the spines centered. Thanks for sharing

[@mikemcg3921]

Right on you have a very intuitive and easy to incorporate for most stuff in the shop greatly appreciated

[@MrPatateHead]

Great teacher! The simplicity of the word (no wood specific terminology) used is a big plus for beginners like me.

[@jim21804]

Very nice video. Great tips and technique. Thank you.

[@barrykery1175]

Neat way to find center and make a setup block. Good video. Barry

[@RanjivJain]

This was great to watch, others show you and talk through but the blade location both vertical and horizontal closed a gap in my thinking well done!

[@michaeldoherty6170]

Very instructional and precise, great job

[@jimscott64]

I agree with Andrew below me here. This is a great idea Jody, just like all the other little trick video's you show on your channel here. Love watching these things. Keep em' coming buddy.

[@ZeWriter1]

Damn I love how to turn "hard to understand/make" stuff into easy to make and look professional. Your explanations are very straight forward and easy to understand! Keep them coming!!! Great Job!!!

[@dbmacdesigns]

Like these videos. You always explain your process very well. Thanks for sharing.

[@HJSolutions-dt9hh]

This is quickly becoming my go to channel for tips on setup. Really appreciate the work you put in with simple, safe techniques that just work every single time. Thanks buddy.

[@martinstone6764]

That is just awesome. Thanks for the information. That’s so much better than making a jig.

[@vo2651]

"Unbelievably CLEAR instructions" this man communicates effectively, concisely, to the point! Should be an instructor/ teacher for a living of anything, it's a gift! Understood perfectly 👏 👌 🙌 👍 THANK YOU! My favorite to go person for woodwork tutorials from now on 😊.

[@konasan]

Just stumbled across you. Awesome. You will keep me off of Netflix for a while.

[@icpark]

Hi I just want to say I just started using a table saw and other power tools and I learn so much from your videos. Thank you!

[@johnkendrick1753]

Great video! Definitely the best tutorial that I've seen

[@louisshambarger2230]

Very timely. I am about to make a box shape in some walnut I don’t want to mess up. Thanks.

[@TeamProsperity]

This is a very good video, well done on the photography and demo, great explanation, 👍

[@teddavid3082]

I've watched a number of your KZbin videos and I'm impressed by the completeness, professional presentation and consistent and scientifically based details of your designs.

[@philiphoweartistwriter272]

Excellent explanation! great detail shots and what a simple solution. Thanks so much for this.

[@glennfelpel9785]

You are truly a master. Good creative information. Thank you

[@TheMadMagician87]

Great explanation, very concise and practical.

[@YouTuber-mc2el]

Very well illustrated. Anytime something is simplified as you have done here is always a plus. Thanks

[@TheMikeNan]

Once again, you have made the process so repeatable and easy to do. We are making small boxes and are using 45 deg miter joints on the boxes. But were having trouble getting consistence fitting spline cuts. Your video is our answer!! Thank you so much for sharing. You are wonderful.

[@hai99noi]

Thank you for sharing. Great creativity and very clear presentation.

[@eketelon]

Really glad I re-watched this video. Great information!

You are so awesome in how you explain things!

[@JP-rr5zg]

Thoroughly enjoyed the class. Thank you.

[@thomaslamora1679]

I need these spline videos running on loop in my shop for the next few months. crazy simple and accurate.

[@WiFredC]

You have A LOT of great tricks. Thank you!

[@wesrobinson7366]

I spent 3 hours in the shop working on this and could not figure it out. One issue I had is the blade drifts down a bit when I turn the saw on (Portable Dewalt). This is the best method so far I have seen and can not wait to get back in the shop and try it. Thank you so much.

[@gdreclaimed5442]

I love this whole series your doing on eliminating measuring devices and letting the lumber dictate the dimensions. I work with mostly reclaimed wood and and nothing is a uniform size. These techniques eliminate half of my struggles!! Keep it up!

[@bobstanton2627]

I really enjoy your videos especially the ones where explain how to do things without measuring.

[@cowboy930]

Thank you for sharing your technique I really appreciate cause I was just wondering how to strengthen the mitered corners low and and behold there was you video so thank you .

[@kencoleman7762]

Another awesome suggestion. It is a pleasure to watch you work and I look forward to trying it out.

[@shawngeraghty6347]

Loving these recent videos with no measurements! Really helpful.

[@charlessullivan8861]

Way to be innovative. thank you so much for all these videos they are extremely helpful and so full of great information. Keep it up!

[@wmbendall04]

I love the logic sense to woodworking your content brings! It makes intricate processes so much easier to comprehend for the non professionals...keep up the great work

[@77megapixels53]

Excellent camera shots in this one. Made it easy to see exactly what you’re doing. I appreciate you making every effort to follow the #1 rule of filmmaking - show, don’t tell.

[@meatstick12gben]

Thank you very much for the lesson. Very detailed and informative ,this really helps a noob like me

[@jimdevito4856]

Wow! You're a genius! Love your videos!

[@TheSOULBRUVVA]

i absolutely love the way you kept it simple

[@hp1587]

Excellent, a huge help for my own work, thank you.

[@torstenbehrendt870]

For me this was the top tip in 2020! Thank you.

[@SLIMPYPRO]

Followed step by step to make my first "big" box (toy box for my 4 yr old daughters stuff) staggered how well it all went together, all thanks to you!

[@dwoody54]

Great explanations of splined joints. Will try sometime.

[@waynemahler2015]

Great video. Very easy to understand . Much easier setup then the way I was doing it. Thank you.

[@slipsonic809]

Freaking badass man! It's my first time doing a project like this and you explained it perfectly.

[@thegarageworkshop3215]

Easy to understand instructions on this nice looking tip. I've often wondered how to strengthen mitred joints, tvm.

[@michaellionart4841]

Love these and how you are avoiding the need to measure. Brilliant 🤩

[@liamshelley]

Brilliant technique. Thanks for sharing!

[@ruthstewart5242]

Exactly the video I needed for my project!

[@davidfriedman3962]

Please continue teachings!

[@JoseSilveira-newhandleforYT]

Excellent use of geometry! Great tips!

[@motrebal]

Very well explained I think it is a great video, well done

[@Rynomum]

I am loving these tips! Super helpful! Thank you!!

[@tfwoodcraft]

Love how your videos are super thorough without being too long or too boring. very tough to do! Pointing out things like which edge of which tooth to line up the point with is a huge help for me. definitely would have screwed that up otherwise! ... still will probably screw it up a couple times but not as badly now!

[@ArmyVet76]

I greatly appreciate these videos. So much knowledge and easy. You Rock 👊🏼

[@basichromatic]

I've been breaking my head on how to do a quick and simple setup for this. THANKS;

[@shayh7942]

Your videos are excellent and I have been using them as a reference to come back to before I set up certain operations. Definitely keep up the good work!

[@stephenhegarty]

Love this series of videos about ditching the measuring ... making me rethink a few things in my own shop.

[@buddyboy4x44]

I am amazed at just how good your techniques and presentation are. WTG.

[@raulripio9590]

Great tip. A joint technique that no need dado blade and works with any measurement systems, so it's Europe friendly 😉👏👏

[@JimHaysTechGeek]

Love your videos. Great details and expanation of how to duplicate your techniques. I have already used a couple of your techniques. I will definitely use this on my next box. Well done.
