    I learned a lot. I especially liked the 180°/90° use on mitered corners. I had not seen that before and it was an eye-opener. Usually, A slot for a spline is cut on the tablesaw using a homemade jig. For me, your technique is much more doable. Thank you so much! (I love learning new stuff)

  • @BlessedLaymanNC
    @BlessedLaymanNC 3 роки тому +1

    I love how you made the slot in the board for the shelf. I can't help but think that you could use it to make a spline joint.
    For a hidden joint, you could stop before you get to the end of the board like the end where you started.
    For slide on shelf, you could cut a partial inside the cabinet and add the spline. Then, use the shelf you cut in the video to slide over the spline. Depending on the use of the shelf, it may not need to be glued so it can be removable.
