Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 trivial spell agone an Article past times Neil Erasmus inward the real skillful Australian Wood Review (AWR) magazine, showed an ingenious method of reinforcing mitred corners. I can't find my re-create but I'm certain this is the cabinet he used them on, delight right me if I've got whatever of that wrong!

His method involved joining ii Dominoes at right angled which allowed the splines to endure inserted inward trace of piece of occupation amongst each board. I'm certain he used finger joints but I dovetailed mine.
The 4 sides of my box were cutting foursquare together with the dominoes cutting at the maximum depth the motorcar would allow.
They were thus mitred on the tabular array saw. The twelve Domino joints took but nether an hr to do. They were thus trimmed to length leaving a pocket-size mucilage gap at the bottom of the mortise.
The splines were glued into the ii reverse sides making certain they went inward all the agency together with thus the other ii sides were glued on.
This meant everything could endure glued upward at xc degrees instead of beingness pulled together amongst ring clamps, thus avoiding the scrap of stopping the parts slipping or opening at the corners. It went together similar a dream together with the corners all lined upward perfectly. I'll endure doing an article for F&C on this box inward the coming months amongst a few other skillful tips every bit well.
