Good video. One suggestion which may or may not be worthwhile? I'd be putting painters tape over the area to be splined before making the cut and only remove it after the splines have been inserted. That way there will be effectively no squeeze-out getting onto the wood - and a little protection against tear-out as well.
Hey Old Guy - awesome suggests. If you’ve seen some of my other videos I recommend doing just that fairly often. I guess I need to do a better job practicing what I preach! Although, and with that being said, I generally use that option with hard to reach areas like inside corners and the like.
@@industrialcomfort honestly really well! Took all of 10 mins to make; less time that it took to watch most spline-making-videos. I used screws, just put them above the level of the blade (and a big red line to remind me to be careful) Had my first spline done in under 40 mins! So thank you again. very much appreciate the excellent design and presentation.
When gluing pieces that you don't want to slide when clamping add a little salt onto the spread glue before assembly, the sharp salt crystals will keep the pieces from moving but will quickly dissolve not having any other impact. To cut the splines after installed you can pick up a flexible flush cut saw at HD and get the splines cut virtually flat, although it is a bit more work and time consuming it will be very close to flush.
Appreciate the feedback! Dowels would absolutely work but a bit overkill for a project like this. I only say that as the jig wears out pretty quickly depending on how often you're cutting splines and glue alone will do the job.
@@industrialcomfort Thanks for the link. But I'll try to reformulate the question: If I wanted to create a frame in white - red - green - any color - how do I insert the corners, for example colored yellow or blue? Thank you . Because I always see the same work on raw wood - but no one has ever shown how to do it all on a frame or a colored box. Thank you . Sorry for my English - I use a translator )) I am Italian and I don't know English.
@@nomecognome5026 I see, no problem. In that case, you should paint the frame first. The challenge, and why most probably don't do that, is for two primary reasons. The first is risk for tear-out when making the cuts for the joints, and the second is that you will always need to sand the splines down. This will sand away the color your frame was painted.
I am embarrassed that I left that part out! In all of my other videos on joints I reference this video: th-cam.com/video/lkGyN_tvnOM/w-d-xo.html go to minute 5:57. Hope this helps!
remember that scene in Jumanji when the kid had to get the axe from the shed, but it was locked, so he found an axe and started hacking at the chain before he realized he already had the axe?
Good video.

Great video. I'm not sure why I've never made one of these!
Thank you! Appreciate you watching.
Quality, thanks for that.
You bet, David. Thanks for watching!
5 seconds in and I know this is the one I'm making (watched several before this). Respect.
I love it, Justin! Thanks for watching and let me know how they come out....

@@JustinShaedo Outstanding!
If you are really cleaver you can do the same thing with just the blade and a stop block.
You don’t need any jigs to make splines, that can be done directly in the table saw with a stop attached the fence.
how would you propose keeping the corner at 45 degrees with no jig?
Well presented. Subscribed. Thank you.
Thank you very much!

That is awesome. I haven't heard that salt trick before. I love it! Thank you for making the suggestions.
Excellent tutorial! Thanks for making things like this for those of us who are beginners.
My pleasure, Kim. So glad it helped and thanks for watching!
GREAT video, this shows you that you don's need to spend a lot of money on specialty tools to get a wonderful result! !! !!!
I really appreciate the kind words! Thanks for watching.
Nice and simple. Well done! I need to try this. What do you think of dowels to hold the jig together?
Appreciate the feedback! Dowels would absolutely work but a bit overkill for a project like this. I only say that as the jig wears out pretty quickly depending on how often you're cutting splines and glue alone will do the job.
Ive made a cpl but ive over thought it everytime lol. This makes it much easier. You have a new sub.
Appreciate that, DSHardWoodCreations. Thanks for watching and glad it helped.
Tight!!!
HI . And if I wanted to color the example frame white and the corner pins green - how can I do it? I can't find any video about it.
Here is a video showing you how to make colored splines: th-cam.com/video/edcgvAs65Ro/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wqTXFV3HkgKdVlt3

Thumbs up and subscribed 👍
Appreciate that, Paul. Thanks for watching!
Is the jig going to end up with a bunch of cuts in it and need re- making or am I missing something? Rookie here :)
Sadly it will. But that means you're woodworking!!! :)
I get that you have a sawstop saw, but that is very bad practice when cutting small pieces not using a push stick. Not good for inexperienced users.
Not going to argue with you on that one, Kevin. Thank you for point that out.
Show how you make your spline joints

Good video but I unfortunately see an accident happening, thank gos you have a saw stop
Use the push stick. Bad thing to teach beginners
Thank you, 100% correct
Dangerous practices.
Kia Ora & Good Morning from North Shore, Auckland, New Zealand ...great video bro.
Appreciate that, mate! Thank you so much for watching!
