    I realize a lot of people will comment negatively about such things as technic but I think the video is really about showing the potential for using dowels to make a simple 45 joint very strong. I enjoyed the video and the concept. Thank you Sir.

      la tecnica es muy buena y queda hermoso , pero cometes un error , al poner cola en los tarugos o varillas, si observas cuando van entrando la cola queda afuera, por lo tanto no queda bien encolado ,la cola la debes poner en los agujeros y de esa manera al ir metiendo las varillas la van arrastrando a lo largo de todo el agujero y asi te queda todo encolado

      Actually a 45° glued joint is effectively end-grain to end-grain. So very strong anyway. If you're that worried you should probably be using something else such as dovetail.

    A trick I learned from a mentor of mine: sprinkle a little sand into the glue, just a couple grains per square inch, then push the two parts together. The sand acts like little grips and keeps the parts from sliding in the slippery glue.

    Dowels should have been run through a pair of vice grips first to groove them out for better glue retention instead of scraping it off at the beginning of the hole

    • @davidhouston2277

      I agree but the dowels are in tightly enough that they are not dependent on the glue to stay in.

      @bikersoncall 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      Both good comments; OP , and David.
      I'm certainly no where near an expert
      at this stuff, but have used dowels
      too many times to count. I always
      consider that fact that 90% of the
      glue I apply, it just scrapped off
      when driving the dowel in, I try
      adding sawdust etc , and on
      the other hand, wonder how
      much glue does that joint
      really need. 😄
      I like the idea of 'running the
      dowel' through vise grips,
      presumably to give the dowel
      a spline effect where glue
      can be stored while driving
      dowel in.

      I am sorry, this is video is borderline BS, and I am extremely noob.
      If it's about the concept of miter joint with dowels, then the thumbnail alone is good enough to know what to do.
      Anybody who wants to learn mitre joint with dowels from this video, will only be misled.
      Video shows mitre cut with a pull saw, but doesn't show how the mitre is matched.
      Any inexperienced woodworker will find out that their mitres aren’t aligning if they follow this.
      Video shows glue is applied to the miter but doesn't show how they are held together with applied force. No master of woodcraft will ever glue their joint without ever reinforcing it.
      Video shows finnish is applied yet mitre gaps aren't sealed with wood powder and glue.

    so for anyone trying to actually use this, here's some tips:
    use a sharp saw. if you dont have one, leave a little bit of room and use a chisel to get to your line. dull saws will leave tearout at the fine edge of the miter.
    DO NOT handsand the gluing surface of the miter cut. all you're doing is rounding edges that will produce gaps in the glue joint, and it will not flatten the surface (much more likely to dome the surface). use a rigid block to attach the sandpaper to (make sure it's truly flat, and be careful around the edges, dont roll over them), or better yet, use some type of straight, edged tool (chisel, plane - go with the grain rather than cutting across it).
    clamp the sacrifice block at the exit of the drilled hole, rather than holding it by hand. this will reduce that awful tearout on the exit hole.
    grooving the dowels can help get glue in the joint, but you can also apply a thin layer of glue to both surfaces (inside of the hole, and the dowel). woodglue doesn't like gaps, so i'd go for minimally grooved or not at all, personally. putting glue on both glued surfaces should always be done when woodworking, as wood can absorb some of the glue and starve the joint. rather than slathering on one piece, a nice thin layer on both is much better.
    a prettier way to strengthen the joint using dowels is to hide them. you measure and drill the holes on both gluing surfaces of the miter without going thru the wood (so drill the holes in each piece of wood individually, making sure not to go thru the exterior facing surface, rather than gluing them together and then drilling thru the whole corner). glue and hammer in the dowels to one piece, then apply glue to the dowels sticking out, as well as the miter-cut faces, and gently tap the other piece of wood onto the dowels until both pieces of wood are flush. strengthens the joint, and is totally invisible when the piece is done, tho requires more precision and measuring.

      nothing to work with, which
      is probably useful to them.
      I like how he set that board
      at the long side of the miter,
      as a stop/guide for the saw,
      I wondered why he didn't clamp
      the block to the 'project' piece.
      Which circles back to the reason he
      probably skips using lots of
      cool tools and clamps. shrugs.

    This makes it stronger, but... as a woodworker beginner I would NOT glue a miter together like shown. Ideally you either have something like 90 degree clamps or lacking that have a board and with screws and more wood create a shell of some sort, so you can make sure it is 90 degree and stays that way.
    If you had a good standing drill, you can set it up to 45 degree and drill the holes before the glue up, that would be even better.

      Nobody does it, and nobody has probably ever done that apart from people on youtube who try to sell it as a genuine skillful woodworking technique. In past, they would have used dovetails or maybe nails or reinforcing splines, in present it would be either the three previous or some hidden dowels, biscuits, dominos, screws, box joints/finger joints or some hardware which allows for disassembly. Given it looks ugly as hell, there is no reason to use this type of joint other than a lack of skill or laziness.

Dominos, LOL. $1500 dollars for a Festool Domino tool. This joint would take a fraction of the time compared to either of the mortice and tenon or finger joint, and they make jigs for it that you can use a regular drill with. And it requires considerable less skill than others which is an advantage. As far as laziness goes, one might say if you are short on time, this joint would be helpful. So your estimation of it is lacking and due to your own ignorance and subjective sense of ugly.

      "It is a fairly inexpensive way to make a strong joint. It is stronger than most of these other joints."
      Can you provide any arguments for this? If you look at common practice, if done properly, any of the joints I mentioned is strong enough for most applications.
      "Dominos, LOL. $1500 dollars for a Festool Domino tool."
      I know that it is expensive and provides not much advantage over dowels, I only included it just to have the list more complete.
      "This joint would take a fraction of the time compared to either of the mortice and tenon or finger joint, and they make jigs for it that you can use a regular drill with."
      Hidden dowels take even less time and they equivalent tools.
      "And it requires considerable less skill than others which is an advantage."
      Same goes for the hidden dowels.
      "As far as laziness goes, one might say if you are short on time, this joint would be helpful."
      If you're short on time, why not use the hidden dowels? If the time is your significant concern, the very dubious aesthetics of this joint are hardly worth the extra time and effort.
      "So your estimation of it is lacking and due to your own ignorance and subjective sense of ugly."
      I believe that ignorant would be to hold this joint as something genuinely useful and worth the effort, while there are many other solutions which are objectively better. As for the subjective sense of ugly, I can't claim that noone would ever find the supposed look of this joint ugly, but I can claim that majority of people would prefer some of the other options which i have listed, if they could choose. However, we can objectively judge the craftsmanship involved in making this joint, which does influence the actual look just as much as the construction of the join. Objectively speaking, the work isn't very good - there are gaps along the miter and the dowels, there is also quite a significant amount of tear out at the same places, which is something that could be in this case quite easily avoided with proper work procedures.

    Question? You use what looks like could be Mahogany wood for the frame, unless it is unseen I can then understand but if you had a little waste why didn't you make your dowells from the same material so the white Pine or Fir dowell would blend?

    Why didn't you spread some glue in the holes before pounding in the dowels? You can see how dry the sides of the dowels are when they emerge on the other side.
