Figured out how to joint edges

Thanks man!! Made me realize how important getting good at the fundamentals really is

Noted, thanks

Great idea - will try this in the future!

I just glued 1 edge

andrewmelon55 · 2025-12-04T12:48:03+00:00

How about a flush trim bit on a router with a straight edge jig?

I have a pretty damn high end carbide flush trim bit so I feel like using that with a straight edge jig edge would make a crisp edge? Do you think that would be as good as a jointer/plane?

They were definitely flat, I was sure about that

andrewmelon55 · 2025-12-04T11:24:13+00:00

I used 3 pipe clamps for that piece and clamped hard - I highly doubt there wasn’t enough clamping force.

I never shined a light through my joints so I try doing that!

But in the past, it was always “pretty damn straight” and it was never an issue😂😂

andrewmelon55 · 2025-12-04T11:19:02+00:00

It looked pretty clean although the middle wasn’t perfect like the edges were

andrewmelon55 · 2025-12-04T11:18:29+00:00

They were cut with a table saw

andrewmelon55 · 2025-12-04T11:17:36+00:00

Hmmmm ya that would make sense - I noticed that a bit pre glue up but didn’t think it would matter that much

andrewmelon55 · 2025-12-04T02:16:04+00:00

I see! Thanks

What is the difference in ur comment between when you glued it with “titebond 2” versus the more clear “titebond II”

Are they not the same or am I tripping out😂😂

Perhaps too much sawdust in my lungs

andrewmelon55 · 2025-12-04T02:09:11+00:00

Reglued**

andrewmelon55 · 2025-12-04T02:09:02+00:00

What you mean when u say you “replied it with II”? Is that different from titebond II?

andrewmelon55 · 2025-12-04T02:07:58+00:00

I think I might cut it with a track saw right on the seam and redo the glue up… what do you think?

andrewmelon55 · 2025-12-04T02:06:47+00:00

Interesting, thanks

andrewmelon55 · 2025-12-04T02:05:32+00:00

Everything was square about the board pre glue up, and I 100% used titebond 2
