  • Tools & Materials
    Compliments of Fine Woodworking tools & materials ■ INNOVATIONS Festool joiner makes mortise- and-tenon joints as easy as biscuits rue innovations in portable power tools are rare. The random-orbit sander, the biscuit joiner, cordless technology—the big leaps forward are few and far between. Festool, a German company, stands out in recent years for reinventing a number of old faithful FEATURES tools. Readers will recall the plunge-style circular saw with the ingenious guide track, as well as a high-end cordless drill that accepts three different heads. TFestool’s latest innovation—the Domino Joiner—may be the compa- ny’s most significant. Available in April, this tool looks and operates like a biscuit joiner, but the Domino uses a spinning and oscillating (wobbling side to side) bit to cut a full mortise in a single plunge. The system employs different-size beech slip tenons. Though the largest tenons are only 3⁄8 in. thick by 7⁄8 in. wide by 2 in. long, the uniformly machined mortises and perfect-fitting tenons added up to very strong joints—strong enough for cabinet doors, drawers, face frames, many chairs, and all tables just shy of dining size. Simple, precise setup. A movable fence (left) has detents at But the real sizzle here is speed. I assembled an entire table, with common angles and a series of vertical stops. Alignment pins two slip tenons at each joint (32 mortises in all), in about half an hour, on the front of the tool (right) locate mortises a set distance with perfect alignment of parts.

I can’t remember the last time the woodworking community has been so abuzz about a new tool as I have seen with the eminent release of the Festool Domino® Tenon Joiner. So what’s the buzz all about? Well imagine being able to cut mortises for mortise and tenon joinery as easily as using a biscuit joiner. While a biscuit is loosely considered a spline, a Domino is a true floating tenon. The Domino tenon joiner is a revolutionary The primary distinction is the orientation of and evolutionary tool for the woodshop that the grain and the depth of the penetration. cuts mortise slots for mortise and tenon The wood grain of a biscuit is slightly off- joinery.

This is very handy for joint. larger projects, and is one of the primary reasons for the popularity of biscuit joiners.

  • Timber Joints
    JOINING TIMBER Timber can be joined in different ways. Working in the Timber Product and Furniture Industry, it is important that you have a good understanding of a range of joints and be able to construct them. This is of particular importance when designing a furniture piece. Joints are an important part of construction in almost any woodworking project and the ability to make sound well-fitting joints is the mark of a good craftsman. Wood, by its very nature, is fragile to work, easily splits and breaks. Despite this when wood splits it is often not caused be the material itself but through inexpert handling of the material or inexpert or careless use of tools. In joining, as in all woodwork, studying the grain direction and working with it are vitally necessary. It must become common practice to look at the grain in a piece of timber to see how best to work it. It is very important that sharp tools are always used as blunt edges require greater pressure and this can cause fracture or splitting, even when working with the grain. Although there are many different types and styles of joining timber, performing many different functions, the following THREE points are highly important in the successful construction of any timber joint: 1. To ensure accurate assembly of joints, pay particular attention to keeping ends and edges of the timber square as well as keeping the faces and edges true. 2. All joints are secured by nails, screws or glue or by a combination of these. Always pre-drill holes for screws, and in timber that tends to split, e.g.

If I edge-join two boards for the sides, I make sure that the glueline ends up in the exact center. I begin by flattening, edge-jointing, then thickness-planing all my stock down to 9 ⁄16 in. Then I pick through the boards and find the best matches to make up the two sides and bottom shelf. I glue up the sec- tions using pipe clamps. After the glue is dry, I clean up any squeeze-out and joint one edge of each side and the bottom shelf. Then I select the boards for the two V-shelves, joint one edge and rip them slightly oversize on the tablesaw.

  • Biscuit-Joining Basics by Joe Hurst-Wajszczuk
    JOINERY MADE SIMPLE Biscuit-Joining Basics by Joe Hurst-Wajszczuk BECAUSE bISCUIT JOINTS ARE EASY TO MARK OUT AND QUICK TO CUT, using one almost seems like cheating. In truth, biscuits may not be as strong as some traditional types of joinery and may not be suitable for heavy-duty loads, but they’re perfect for plenty of projects. Woodworkers and carpenters have been employing biscuits to successfully solve all sorts of assembly and alignment problems for over two decades. The easiest way to appreciate their versatility and strengths is by putting them to use. The safest way to cut biscuit slots is with a biscuit joiner. This tool is designed to do nothing but plunge-cut arc-shaped slots. (Unlike the router/biscuit-cutting bit combo, the biscuit joiner’s cutter retracts inside the tool as you pull it away from your work.) From there, a flat, football-shaped piece of compressed wood, called a biscuit, fits into a pair of matching slots. What makes biscuits better than dowels? The size and shape of the slot. The oversized slot lets the biscuit move slightly, enabling you to tweak parts into perfect alignment. However, once glued, the biscuits swell and lock the parts in place. You can master basic biscuit joiner use in five minutes, but you will continue to learn new tricks with each project. Following are some common joints that you can practice making to familiarize yourself with a new tool or get better reacquainted with your old workhorse. BEGIN WITH THE TWO SLOT TEST A biscuit joiner should cut a slot slightly deeper than half the width of the biscuit you’re trying to fit.
