    Angle your ruler across the timber until you get a whole number divisible by three. In this case 30mm would be perfect. then mark at 10 and 20 mm.

      @@MattEstlea Why on Earth would you make components to be 26 mm?! You can only divide that by 13 & 2.

    • @BJaca-tn3om
      @BJaca-tn3om 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      It's because the different measurement systems, and the planing, mostly.
      But it isn't needed to be perfectly divided to 3 equal parts. We have chisels that are 6, 8, 10, 12mm, and so on. If you have a 20mm thick material, you divide it to 7mm, 6mm, 7mm.

Its purpose is to block spaces along the bottom of my computer desk so my puppy will quit having round toys roll under it. I even managed most of them with just hand tools (Japanese pull saws, chisels, marking knife and my home-made mallet!)

    Thanks for the video, one question though: If I only have a regular marking gauge, shall I reference twice on the face side (with adjusting the gauge) or without adjusting and referencing from both sides? Problem I am unsure about is that when marking from the face side twice, the flat side of the gauge will be on the offcut with one of the cuts. Therefore, for my chisle I will have a sort of V-shape to start off. That a problem?

  • @jfsauer42
    @jfsauer42 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Bridal joints have superior strength and look good. Bravo to Matt and anyone else who can execute them and make them look good. Cutting them by hand is time consuming, however. I've had great luck with a lap joint. Use the table saw with a miter gauge to remove material and put a couple dowels in each corner for added strength. The result looks almost as good and is very strong.

    @justinbudreau4814 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    you can divide any width but holding the ruler on a 0 on one corner and rotating it to the divisor on the opposing edge equal to the amount of divisions needed. IE Hold at 0, rotate to 3, mark every cm to divide by three. If your piece is wider than the divisor, multiply it until you reach the width and mark accordingly

    Nice joint! Question my friend. Is it possible to do this joint on a 1/4 thick piece of wood?

    • @Damienjking
      @Damienjking 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      ToCan2tuViDa most types of joinery aren’t usually cut on 1/4” stock because there isn’t much thickness there. 1/4” is pretty thin as is, then cutting it in thirds would make it wafer thin and there would be virtually no strength in the tenon because it would be just over a 1/16 of an inch thick. If you were committed to joining 1/4” stock something like a lap joint would be a much better option as it would keep the 2 halves 1/8 of an inch thick which is still very thin, but better. Good luck.

    • @MattEstlea
      @MattEstlea  7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Good question. I only had a very small amount of material overlapping at the end of it. So I slightly tilted the clamps to make sure they are pressing on the correct part of the joint, not the end grain. It meant there was more pressure one side than the other but it still worked!

      You’re trusting the wood grain to do what you want. If it’s straight you can get away with it sometimes.
