SPLINE JOINT sa BISCUIT JOINT sa SPLINE MITER JOINT xx WOOD JOINERY Refining the spline. The spline joint can be used in a multitude of applications to create aesthetic appeal. Some tips. Tip for clamping the splined miter joint without requiring a special miter clamp. Spline joints suggested as being superior to dowel joints. Some tips on their fabrication. Simple jig aids in routing the slots for splines in miter joints. Tip: How to end-join boards using a spline. Technique for cutting snug-fitting splines on a table saw. Spline-mitered joinery solves design and construction problems with leg-and-apron structures. How to cut miters and spline grooves with a router and a simple homemade jig. Router-based method for cutting the slots in splined miter joints guarantees an accurate fit. Three decorative joints. (1) Outlined dovetails. (2) Outlined mortise-and-tenon slipjoint. (3) Decorative splined miters. How to glue up boards end to end to make them longer. Makes use of splines. A simple jig for routing blind spline slots in spline-mitered frames. Spline joinery. Stronger, quicker and more versatile than biscuits. Router-table jig for cutting spline mortises in outside corners. Sliding table saw work holder does tapers, tenons and splines. Twenty eight ways to make strong wood joints. Includes the following styles of joints: lap, tenon, dowel, butt, dovetail, glue-block, splined, rabbet, and cogged. Several versions of each may be illustrated. Tip: How to spline-join short lengths of wood into usable lengths. Jig for cutting straight or dovetail slots when adding splines to box corners. How to edge-join boards. How to prepare the boards, cut the spline joint, drill a dowel joint, clamp the stock, and prepare the stock for finishing. The case for simple edge-gluing. A comparison of the plain edge-join and edge-joins reinforced with dowels, splines, or tongues. How to cut and clamp a miter and spline joint. How to cut the parallel spline joint. Good joint for joining plywood top of a box to the sides without the end grain showing. Tip: Correct method for cutting splines has the grain going across the spline. How to cut and use miter and spline joints. Ideally suited to such projects as multi-sided (polygon) frames where each side is a short, mitered piece of wood to be joined to a matching piece. Tip: Use splines when gluing up tabletops from several boards to reduce the amount of hand planing necessary to achieve a flat surface. A comparison of the dowel joint with other types of joints (spline, mortise-and-tenon, etc.) and the advantages of each. Shop notes for miter and spline joinery. Cutting miters, cutting spline grooves, cutting splines, gluing up mitered frames, etc. A jig for routing grooves in the exact center of stock from 0.5" to 3" thick. Use to cut grooves for splines. Tip: Convert an old saw blade to cut the correct width kerf when using 1/8" hardboard for splines. Miter with open spline. How to cut thin, narrow strips (such as splines) on a table saw. Includes a jig to speed up the process. Mortise and spline joints provide a larger gluing surface than either dowels or biscuit joints. How to measure, cut, and fit them. Tip on dimpling splines to carry extra glue into a tight-fitting mortise. Preventing slip when edge-gluing multiple strips into a thick slab relies on the use of sacrificial splines. How to fabricate uniformly-thick splines using a dado blade. A simple spacing method that eases spline layout. Mitered corners are reinforced and decorated by installing keys (splines) across the miter. The finished appearance is similar to that of a box joint. Router jig for cutting the grooves for splines in splined miter joints. Tips on making the splines and clamping the joint. Miter joints. How to measure, cut, fit, and assemble both splined and doweled miter joints. Tip: How to route a groove for a spline. Jig which makes it safe and easy to cut spline grooves on short and narrow stock using a table saw. The finger joint spline. A right-angle spline is made using finger joints. This spline is then used to strengthen a miter joint. Four splines at a time are made by fabricating a finger jointed box and then sawing into four sections. Make a jig for cutting spline slots on a table saw. Tip: Jig for cutting spline slots across the corner of picture frames. Tip: Reinforce butt joints with splines installed on the ends of the panels. | |||||||||
