re: Curing at higher than room temp is also a good idea...I use incandescent lamps or my car's trunk in the hot sun
For large objects, I've used a black trailer, in the sun, with an electric heater. (the heater may have been overkill )

End-to-end or edge-to-edge should always be pegged, glued and clamped. So, yes, it does work...when done right.

However if you flex the resulting joined boards until "something" breaks, the break will be right at the glue joint rather than a few inches away from it. The glue may be stronger than the wood, but the overall joint is not stronger. A biscuit or pegs would definitely help.
Not at all necessarily...

Best of luck to you!

I've never use biscuts. A long time REAL woodwooker friend of mine ranted and raved about them when they came out. At that time he said the machine was real expensive. That was a bit ago. I suppose by now they are reasonable.
You can get 'em for under a $100, although my DeWalt cost a bit more than that.
I'd be hard pressed to locate my doweling jig and centers if I ever came up with a reason to use a dowel for joining again.
With the biscuit joiner, alignment is done with a couple of free hand pencil marks on the pieces to be joined. Butt joints, T-joints, even
45's can be done in a matter of a few short minutes.
Old fashioned stuff! You don't have a Domino?
(just kidding)
I'm having a little trouble justifying a Domino to SWMBO. I'm close though - NOT!
You have to justify a tool? The only question should be "do we have the money today?" If the answer is "yes" you buy the tool. If the answer is "no", the second question is "when will we? How about next payday?"
My wife and I discuss major purchases, but we each have out hobbies and spend what is available for them as we see fit. I can assure you she has not saved enough money making clothing to justify her tools, same as I cannot monetarily justify my tool costs with a ROI.
re: You have to justify a tool?
Yes.
re: I can assure you she has not saved enough money making clothing to justify her tools
She doesn't have to.
Boy, that was easy.
I am a general contractor and I just can't bring myself to pay
1,000.00 for a tool that is basically a biscuit joiner on steroids. And I don't have to justify it to anyone.DerbyDad03 wrote in news: snipped-for-privacy@n58g2000hsf.googlegroups.com:
