_The MATING _

Iutely square, since any irregularity could be transferred to the carcase later on. Sand the fingerjoints flush before the box is resawn. If they are done right, the splines will serve as an aid in aligning the carcase and insuring that it is indeed square. Before the final assembly, several dry fittings are recommended to check that the splines and mortises are cut properly, and that the miters will fit up tight.

One of the most common problems with either mortise-and-tenon or dowel construction is glue pockets. As the tenon is inserted into its mortise it may force giue into a pocket at the bottom of the mortise, creating hydraulic back pressure that could prevent the tenon from bottoming and the joint from being drawn uptight. To prevent this situation, it is important to chamfer the edges of the fingerjointed splines, as shown in Fig. 2.

Because time is of the essence in the final assembly process, everything should be laid out and ready to use beforehand. There is little time to adjust fit, and you must work quickly, lest the giue begin to set up before assembly is complete. Since the choice of glue is of little consequence relative to strength (used properly, all wood glues are stronger than the wood itself) you might do well to consider using a plastic resin or hide glue, which will allow approximately one half hour for assembly, as opposed to the 15 minute set up time of most yellow glues.

In clamping up a carcase constructed with fingerjoint splines, use clamping blocks to apply even pressure along the full length of the spline joint.

The fingerjoint spline is a technique that, although it involves considerably more work than some other methods of joinery, offers the serious woodworker a viable, useful alternative for use in the construction of large carcases. Where concealed joinery, strength, and precision are at a premium, this joint guarantees the best possible construction .
