    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

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 UA-cam comments
