[@thewoodworkinghusky3284]

I love the spline, not only does it add tons of strength, but using a contrasting wood adds another level of detail, and makes the frame that much more unique and exciting. Great video!

[@doddagopi4933]

Extraordinary demo. Too Good. 10/10

[@alkalinedale]

How far did everyone get before realizing he said everyone was his least favorite? Cause it was 8 for me.....

[@reyome-designs]

this is my least favorite woodworking channel lmao

[@downeybill]

@@reyome-designs and yet, here we are!

[@macd7743]

Haha... For me it was for the method following his first mention of it being his “least favorite.” I was going to be saddened when I discovered the method I planned on using was his “least favorite” but then I realized nearly all of them are, so I was happy again. 😂 Nonetheless, I still appreciate the video 😄👍

[@sumitbasra]

the fact that your shop is so clean makes it that much more satisfying when the sawdust flies off the table saw

[@wholenoterest]

12:00 My favorite moment of any woodworking video I have ever watched.

[@joelvarney5091]

19:08 stand playing in the background. Nice touch!

[@MakeSomething]

Good eye!!

[@TheCHRISCaPWN]

Spaceship mode is easily my favorite method for reinforcing mitered joints. 👨‍🚀

[@ianallan2337]

Great reference video! I recently built a walnut frame with an edge detail that precluded the mitre spline method. After lots of thought I decided to use a 3/4 Forstner bit on the back and a 3/4 PLUG CUTTER to make face grain discs. Epoxy as a filler glue, touch up with a sanding block and fini.

[@lylecoates9355]

Other than cutting out the circles with the band saw, I just use 1” forsener bit and 1” dowel cut in thin disks.

[@tomt9543]

How have I lived 61 years and never thought of using a biscuit joiner to cut splines? Genius! Pure genius!

[@SirFrankoman]

I love method 3. Doesn't require a jig or a table saw with a wide fence... But most importantly, it gives my biscuit joiner a purpose and "justifies" the purchase :) Great video as usual!

[@JenkinsB]

this series is a marriage saver. thanks david!

[@jmlfa]

My favorite? The nails and the hammer 🙂

[@patrickschardt7724]

I like how you have like 5 different least favorite methods. The sawdust glue trick is fantastic

[@dsigetich]

Thanks for the frame making video - you inspired me to try it. I built your spline cutting jig for my table saw. Got it almost assembled before I realized that I had to scale it down for my contractor saw. Had to take it apart and cut down some pieces. Now it works just right. Now I can take it apart and glue it, or just skip that step. Now waiting for Amazon to deliver the necessary clamp. Thanks!

[@markpeach74]

Each time you said ‘it’s probably my least favourite method’ I did a little giggle. No idea why, just made me laugh. Great job and useful info as usual.

[@mitchellmantifel9665]

This might be my favorite woodworking video to date! Thanks for the comedy!!

[@lcsvlllbs8934]

Your process with all 3 jigs combined is perfect. Really cool! Thanks for posting!

[@MakeSomething]

Thank you Lucas!

[@scottmartin7717]

DOPE spaceship mode!!!

[@HandlebarWorkshops]

Yep. That's probably my least favorite method, too.

[@artist7998]

I work in a gallery and what we do is miter to size all the parts. Take the end of a table and a piece of plywood that is square and screw it to the corner of the table so it makes the frame material hang over about 1/2 inch. Get your 4 pieces glued up and place them on the corner with the plywood that will keep it squared and then use some pen nails to hold the frame together. You keep going around until all 4 corners are nailed. Take a wet rag and remove any excess glue that squeezed out and your done. No waiting a day for glue to dry.

[@robertblanchette1161]

Laughed a lot as you went through your succession of least favorite methods. Oddly enough, my biggest takeaway from this video was sawdust in a jar. I use sawdust to fill in imperfect joints, but I sand as I need it. I never thought to have a supply on hand.

[@ericdeguilo1181]

Such a pioneer! No other KZbin woodworker turns off the lights to use their table saw 🤣🤣

[@duanes6478]

great video. Easy to watch, no nonsense, quick and dirty! I don't subscribe unless they pass these tests. I subscribed!

[@bud7551]

You can also use a hole saw to make your circles. Use a blade that is 1/8" larger than your forstner bit and remove the centering bit. You'll want to use a the drill press and make sure your stock is clamped securely.

[@MakeSomething]

Yes! Great tip!

[@clonecone]

That's his least favorite method.

[@Teardropstack]

Full speed on the drill and finding the screw hole perfectly was gold haha

[@matteagle8206]

Not gonna lie, loved the video and gave you a sub for the end sequence, that was really fun

[@alexputt]

You know what would make Spaceship Mode even more awesome? You guys dancing around the shop on roller skates. 😂

[@geraldyungling3334]

I thought the same thing only for some reason, I imagined Kyle Toth dancing.

[@cameradan7648]

You can't roller skate in a buffalo herd.

[@dennisdownes9319]

I loved the spaceship mode! DD

[@shaunbarrickman6339]

You could drop frames from each method to compare. Good stuff as always!

[@diva2042]

13:00 - looks like we maybe in store for a spin-off channel: Make Somethin Somethin

[@andrewdurrer3899]

Or the crossover "I Like To Make Something"

[@carold.7907]

Excellent and to the point!

[@Daymanoahha]

I appreciate your no nonsense style. Becoming one of my favourite wood channels :) thanks for the hot tips!

[@randallandrew93]

Awesome video and supper helpful. I've looked a couple of times for this type of video and this is the best by far

[@jameshague8794]

Great editing.

[@BenTaylor11]

I made the first iteration of the spline jig and have used it several times. The addition of the toggle clamp is sweet and makes me want to add that to mine. I might even remake it since I have a better idea of what I’m doing this time. Great video!

[@jeffkowalski4936]

Using a framing hammer to put a nail in the frame. I love your humor.

[@MakeSomething]

hahahaha!

[@wmfranz]

spaceship mode is straight gangster!

[@scubasteve159753]

A method I learned in a professional frame shop is to use the Festool Domino similar to what you did with the forstner bit. Plunge into the back (after initial assembly), glue in a domino, and then cut it off flush with an oscillating tool. Works really well with frames made from commercially purchased frame moulding since it's all done from the back. In the same shop, we also had a neat framing tool that worked like a typically domino reinforced miter, like you demonstrated in the video, but it cuts both adjoining faces at the same time with a funky router bit, and then you insert a plastic I-beam looking tenon. Pretty neat, but they're not very popular anymore, especially since the Domino hit the market.

[@MakeSomething]

Whoa! I that's pretty cool! I wish I knew about this technique before making the video.

[@Dougout92]

Excellent job. You made it fun, entertaining and even brought in some humor during the learning process. Also appreciated your lighting techniques during filming. I got to go make some frames now....bye.

[@kreparAZ]

Spaceship mode is dope guys 🚀 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@aerialrescuesolutions3277]

Very funny and cool. I love the comment about the Festool being expensive. And how each method was your least favorite . Too funny. You really do some quality work I can tell. I don't know how I only just found your channel? I'm here now, thank you, Jim.

[@juiceswoodworkingdesign9092]

Was trying to figure out how to do splines on the table saw thanks for the jig idea.

[@mellis17]

At 13 minutes... I'm so glad that my mind was not the only one that went there the moment you said it! 😂🤣 Very useful video! Thank you for the tips! 😁

[@RedBairnMedia]

I had the same reaction to having the screw started before driving it in. *Chef Kiss* I was just thinking in the build up to this moment "we haven't had the over ratcheting driver sound in ages" as well.

[@gusvirgant2392]

Hey man you are just fantastic. 1000 thumps up

[@WiredWorkshop]

My mind was blown when you got those 2 screws on the first try 😂 I would have left an indent with my Phillips tip in the frame for sure. Awesome video, you and Dan seem to have a bunch of fun in the shop I love watching these.

[@phillambert8472]

Brilliant 🙌

[@rodpotts2666]

I'm really liking the new video vibe. Very kool !

[@pixellake636]

Great tip using the CA glue instead of wood glue!!

[@crafts_avenue]

it seems mostly are your least favourite methods! but non the less it was great informative video thank you

[@eduardouresticharre6873]

Thanks for sharing your ideas!!

[@davidholt4216]

Very nice! Thanks so much.

[@NatesToolbox]

Awesome 👏🏻. Would the jog work with larger frames I can’t picture it 🙃

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Super helpful David! Thank you!!!

[@MrSponar]

You get me with that drop...now i am watching till the end...

[@karl_alan]

Why wouldn't you want those runner things on the spline jig all the way down to be somewhat of a backerboard for chipout? Just curious why they needed to be moved up

[@crisvega7588]

I'm guessing go accommodate larger frames

[@timnordman8184]

Because you move the fence depending on the thickness of the frame or number of splines in each corner. Just my guess.

[@reddzombie]

Mostly because you would be cutting through the runners every time you used the jig. Eventually you would have to replace the runners because they’ve been cut too many times, kinda like the push sticks. By keeping the runners above the anticipated blade height, you shouldn’t ever have to repair the jig, in theory.

[@brentcrawfordrrt]

Great as always

[@Sabot119]

Cuttin wood and kissin' tips. :) Awesome video! So helpful!

[@Mo-gs9bj]

Hello there! I am trying to fix a large picture frame that cracked its corners when it thudded down the wall behind my bed; I was very happy to locate your talk! I was starting to really enjoy your helpful presentation, until you began to lose me at about the 3-minute mark with the Secret-Man Terminology 😇😄 like 'spline' and 'biscuit joiner'. A lot of women like myself- and of course, a lot of men, too- did not have the advantage of a knowledgeable person to teach us these things. It really slows me down when I have to look up a lot of terms before I can find the relevant information I need. For me, it's all hit or miss (little carpentry joke there), so I would really benefit if you wouldn't mind 'defining your terms' as they say in Philosophy 101, for beginner learners with purple thumbs. Peace!

[@lisalovelylpa]

I make stretcher bars for my paintings , I use 1/4 inch plywood triangles glued to each corner Amd tacked in place with finishing nails.

[@faridroumane703]

Very nice job et good project From Algéria

[@sgsax]

Yeah, that's my least favorite method too. So I guess Spaceship Mode is a thing now. That's cool. More great tips here, just the tips. Thanks for sharing!

[@MasonWiseman]

All methods are your least favorite except your favorite, got it!

[@masontejera506]

Love space ship mode 😂

[@MatthewBowe]

SpAcEsHiP MoDe!!!!

[@tylerpeters1181]

It took me waaaay too long before I realized which one was your least favorite method.

[@KelseyMitchell-gz4oz]

My parents have been professional picture framers for 25 years. They use wood glue and a large staple in the back, and they've never had a joint fail so....that's probably the easiest one that's also super dependable.

[@amaurynegron4280]

Gracias!!!!! Bronx, N.Y. May 26/2021

[@sazdab]

I love hanging out with you once a week for a few minutes.!!!! it is a highlight of the week.!!!!!!! Thanks for the fun

[@willemkossen]

I made that spline jig a while back and it works great.

[@billgordon7583]

Great instructional video. Love the various jigs. No proper hearing or eye protection? I'm surprised you didn't mention a v-nailer. I'm doing 40x60 inch frames for my gallery art, and I couldn't live without it. Owing to the size, and weight of the glass, I also router a 1/4" groove in the backside corners into which I sink angle brackets. And of course, Titebond glue-up . I'd post a couple of pictures, but it doesn't seem you can do that with KZbin comments

[@michaelhopper9945]

Told you I'd get to your video eventually. I need to make a picture frame soon. I don't have a good table saw (In fact, my son just informed me that my mediocre one is broken--dunno what to do about that yet), or a domino joiner, but I'll manage. Last one I did, I doweled.

[@billdiehl156]

Great video. And now I’ve got 3 jigs to make. I know everyone is thinking it, but I’ll ask: CAN you use Nestle’s Qwik as wood filler?

[@dandavis5832]

Great job Dave! Thanks for the tips

[@Racedoc]

Once I saw the Festool I knew you are legit :)

[@ElizabethFranquiEsq]

Awesome trilogy! Please release that CD of your music!

[@timtoggs]

Please do a full 10-min vid in Spaceship Mode with your sick beats! 🌴🌬️

[@MakeSomething]

I’m gonna try soon! I need an interesting project for it.

[@timtoggs]

@@MakeSomething oh my, I cannot wait!

[@JonathanRansom]

"Spaceship mode" stickers, please.

[@clonecone]

You might be the only person on youtube who uses CA glue activator correctly. I see so many people gluing the pieces together and then spraying activator all over the workpieces. None of it ever touches the CA.

[@Grunblau]

I generally use the liquid type and keep the spray tip unscrewed so I can use the spray stem to deposit activator on the joint. Then I knock the bottle over and None of it ever touches the CA.

[@geozodis8679]

Thank you for the video!! My nail gun use headless nails (12-35mm).. is that a problem in this project?

[@mwrcrft]

Nice video and the spaceship mode was inspiring. Good luck on the go cart deal and keep the rubber side down.

[@jhersk]

What about dowels? Strong, easy, and add a design element if you use a contrasting wood.

[@wuj.design]

This is how I do most of my picture frames. I've been using miller dowels after glue up and they're very easy look great.

[@sniperpd9505]

I don't have a workshop or the machinery you have, I only have 2 hammers, screwdeivers, superglue. Is there a corner reinforcement that I can add in some way to an old frame.

[@michaelaguilera5032]

Gaaaaaaawwwwwwdamn awesome ideas, never thought about using a biscuit joiner for that style of cut....thank you for sharing the knowledge!

[@NTechCreative]

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@wolfbaker8415]

Great video game thanks for showing different ways to do that also watched the whole video even the sponsored part also shaved the beard

[@jaycee2896]

Love the video...how big of a frame can you do with the spline jig?

[@Ed-jg3ud]

Was it just coincidence that you and April Wilkerson released “10 ways to strengthen/glue miters” on the same day lol

[@MakeSomething]

Total coincidence! Crazy!

[@mlubecke]

David..... another amazing video. I really love the way you guys create them. Awesome 👏

[@MakeSomething]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpelc6mOmNJsobM

[@coldwoodcowboy4525]

I was just thinking about starting a picture frame project. You have impeccable timing! I will be going the hand tool route so if I reinforce it, I’ll likely just make some cuts with my hand saw and use some splines. Easier said than done for a beginner like me, however! Now I’ll have to watch more of your picture frame videos to get some inspiration...and education! haha Thanks for the information and awesome video!

[@Thoracius]

Been thinking about what kind of joint + reinforcement to use for interior storm windows. Right away I realized I've been overthinking it. A miter with nails will look plenty nice and work plenty fine.

[@shakdidagalimal]

[@joethompson11]

I use a staple gun, but now you got me thinking!

[@jay_jjacobsen6695]

We are having to manufacture for ourselves a window molding a good 70" x 60" rectangular. The reason being we want the molding to stand away from the wall a good inch or so to accommodate purchased insider windows. Which method would you recommend for something so large?

[@Grunblau]

Awesome video! Very informative and dense. Thanks, Stay playful!

Great, now David is trolling the audience. This is why I love this channel!

Have you seen the miter lock router bits?

[@dwightl5863]

I've seen but not used it. But have heard, and there are YT videos, that they take a long time to get set up perfectly.
