Mitered Frames
31
When making mitered frames, position the
tenon closer to the inside corner. This reduces
the likelihood of cutting the mortise all the
way through the workpiece.
Make sure to securely clamp the workpiece to
the bench when mortising a mitered joint.
Making Carcase Butt Joints
Using tenoned butt joints is an effective
method for constructing a cabinet carcase.
The tenons provide a strong support for each
of the horizontal partitions of the cabinet.
32
The simplicity of this method is that you
use the carcase components for aligning the
joiner.
Setup and Machining
33.1
– Lay the vertical wall pieces on your work-
bench, and draw lines [33.1] across both
pieces to indicate where the shelves will
be located. Note that it is easier to avoid
mistakes later on by drawing double lines,
with one line above the shelf and one line
below the shelf.
– For reference, label the top and bottom
face of each shelf. This is so your left- and
right-hand mortises are referenced from
the same face of each shelf.
– Working with one shelf at a time, lay the
horizontal shelf [34.1] on top of the verti-
cal wall [34.2] so its edge lines up with the
outside pencil line for that shelf location.
Tip:
Stand the shelf vertical on the side wall piece
and in the position it will eventually be secured
(between the double pencil lines), and care-
fully tip the shelf fl at, into the position shown
in the picture 34. For greater shelf-strength,
keep the tenons closer to the bottom-side of
the shelf:
If the shelf is thick (greater than 20mm),
tip it down with the top-side facing up.
If the shelf is thin (less than 20mm), tip it
down with the bottom-side facing up.
– Clamp the two pieces together to prevent
them from moving.
– With the Domino baseplate resting on the
face of the wall-piece, plunge the joiner into
the edge of the shelf. Do not use the fence
for height positioning.
