IL 60126 312/832-3803 Beginning Woodworker (cont'd) miter joints to make by hand, a simple miter shooting board, as shown in Fig. 6, will be very helpful. The triangular part of the board must be carefully cut so that the angles are exactly 45 degrees. Bevei fp aoioe simp ciAMftc curriivb LIMC FI6. 7 cutting an edge miter True edge miters are a bit more difficult to cut than the flat version because the miter box is usually not deep enough to accomodate the workpiece. If this is the case, a guide strip beveled to 45 degrees can be secured to the workpiece along the cutting line and used to guide the sawblade (Fig. 7). For miters other than 45 degrees, the guide strip with an appropriate bevel can also be used. It's best to make the cut slightly outside of the line to allow for dressing the cut with a block plane. As mentioned earlier, miter joints held only with glue generally require additional reinforcement. A small picture frame needs only to be glued together and after the glue has cured, finishing nails can be driven into pre-drilled pilot holes in the frame sides. The nails are set below the surface, the holes later filled before finishing.
A much better way to strengthen flat miter joints is with one or more splines glued into slots cut in both joining members (Fig. 8). When cutting spline slots, fit the joint together in the bench vise and gauge for the slot, marking both sides of the slot from the face sides of the joint. Use a dovetail or small backsaw to rip both sides of the slot, keeping the blade on the waste sides of the lines. The central waste is then removed with a chisel. A spline slot of V4 inch width is about right for 3/a tr, 1 inr'h think ctnnlf Multiple splines can also be used as shown in Fig. 9. These splines are much thinner and are sometimes called "feathers". When cutting slots for multiple splines, use a saw that cuts a fairly wide kerf or groove and cut your spline to fit snugly in the kerf. If the workpiece is of pine or hardwood, use splines cut from hardwood. fie,. 9 A fut mitw j^imt uiith THREE thin SPLINE.^ The grain direction of the splines should run diagonally across the joint as shown in Figs. 8 and 9. Plywood can also be used for splines, especially if the frame members are also of plywood or will be painted, but solid hardwood splines look better. Always cut the splines for a good friction fit in the slots (they will swell with glue after assembly) but leave them long enough to protrude from the joint so they can be trimmed flush later. ipuioe is trimmed Fujsw later CLAMP\SA ASPLINEP J^(NT When gluing up a joint with one thick spline, spread glue on the miter-ed faces and in the grooves and insert the spline, bringing the joint together with hand pressure. Wipe off glue that squeezes out, then clamp the sides of the joint to insure good contact with the spline (Fig. 10). To fit multiple splines in a flat joint, glue the joint together first and after the glue has set, cut the spline slots with the saw, then force in glue and insert the splines. Flat miters can also have through splines as shown in Fig. 11 A. In this case the spline slots must be carefully gauged from the face sides and cut on each piece separately. Use a dovetail saw and take care to keep the blade (continued on page 24) HORTON BRASSES are authentic copies of 17th, 18th, 19th & early 20th century pulls. |
