do you do yours? OR How would you do it if you came across to this?
I have been using plan B for long time. Then yesterday a friend told me that his WW'ing company does plan A all the time. I would prefer plan A (makes the raised panels even on both sides), but plan B would be stronger? This is about using biscuits and glue.
Absolutely Plan A. With "A" you end up with the false corners that hide the actual joint. These can easily be put together with pocket hole screws if the inside will not show.
Obvious Plan A would be "stronger", but was told that one company does Plan B, so just wondering.
As for using raised panels, I glue the RP onto the mitred cut, then sand it. This will leave one side "2-1/2" and other "2-3/4" looks. I know I could adjust the stiles to compensate... should I? Maybe not.
Hmm, in case you looking at this in a different way, I am looking at the
45-degree corners for the outside, while the inside would be hidden.
I still like using biscuits. I use pocket hole occasionally.
With that kind of corner and joint the biscuits are OK but the pocket holes pull the joint up tighter and more easily. It is often hard to clamp that type corner joint .
I never thought of anything like plan "A" until I bought a Kreg PS jig about 2 weeks ago. It made a lot of sense to me for my current project where the back side is not visible (as shown in their owners booklet).
One thing is certain. It requires cutting only one angle at something other than 90, so if you're trying to fit some trim, you are only working with one edge.
Don't think that it's perfect for every situation, but it's a good solution in some.
