    Let’s try this again. This week's woodworking joint of the week is the SPLINED, Inlaid, Mitered Dovetail Corner. This week I took the time to reinforce the joint with and ebony spline and inlaid it with purple heart. I feel that this one is way stronger and also way cooler looking! The woods I used were quilted maple, ebony, purple heart, and lacewood. Let me know in the comments what joint you’d like to see next week. Thanks for watching! Please like, comment and subscribe. Cheers!

    The author does like to from scratch, ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practise the full stack project, is still great.

    I have to agree with Willy T. Unreinforced miter joints aren't really that weak. I have made many boxes that way over the last 22 years, some that I kept and use frequently in my shop and none have come apart so far. Although I haven't dropped any on a hard floor yet, which might do the trick!

  • @amdenis
    @amdenis 5 років тому +2

    I find that plenty of glue is essential, as you mentioned (on both sides) and also, using clamps with plenty of pressure to fully bond the inlay. Without the clamps, I have had issues-even with a,lot of glue, but never with the clamps plus plenty of glue.

    I really liked the look of the mitered dovetail corner from last week, and I actually prefer it if you don't want all the focus of the project to be on the joint. Whatever project this joint gets used on would have to be better than the joint so it wouldn't be overshadowed by it, unless that's what you're going for. If you wanted to add hidden strength to the mitered dovetail corner, couldn't you use dowels or biscuits, or even a spline that's buried in the joint? That's what I was thinking last week when I saw the comments on the weakness of this joint.

  • @ssteele1812

    I wish I had your skills with the hand tools but its not some thing that comes over night. Im new to wood working and have learned enough to be extremely impressed with the skills involved using hand tools. Guys like you leave me amazed. Keep up the beautiful work and the great videos.

    3 of the four woods here are in my top five preferred woods as far as the look or the wood goes, and they are the stars of this joint. I love purple heart, lace wood, and highly figured maple. And yes, the contrast shows nicely on camera as well. I was just a bit worried when you said spline that you were going to cut grooves in the corner to spline it like a picture frame or more commonly used spline for a jewelry box. Properly place that could look nice too, but this works as well. Does an oily wood such as ebony really add much strength to the joint? The oils in the ebony would disallow the soak-up of most PVA glues, would it not?

      Have you seen wenge or Madagascar snake wood. Beautiful wood and dense and strong. Similar to oak in durability. But the grain is beautiful. When worked properly

      @@dannysisk9458 yeah, I've seen wenge but not the snake wood. Haven't been privaledged to use either.

    Being a total noob to woodworking, this video is waaay more work and planning than it looks like. He makes it look pretty easy. Awesome looking joint. Thumbs up and definitely sub’d.

    Looks very similar to Aussie “Sheoke” (Allocasuarina fraseriana). 👍

    It's beautiful. One day I hope to have the skill to put this together. It occurred to me if you really wanted to make a strong joint, though severely lengthen your work time, full blind dovetails in the lacewood would do it.
