Quick Cabinet Construction — Woodsmith Tips. Using a biscuit joiner is a great way to quickly build cases. For example, one type of case joint you’ll need to make is a T-joint (photo below). This joint is commonly used for fixed shelves and dividers. The real challenge of this joint is cutting the slots into the face of the side. There’s no obvious way to reference the base of the joiner.

The answer is to create a reference surface with the mating workpiece (lower left photo). Now cut the slot by holding the biscuit joiner vertically. All that’s left to complete the joint is to cut the slots in the divider. Following these simple steps make it easy to master case joinery. WOOD Magazine Community. Weekend With WOOD is back for 2014!

One attendee of last year's Weekend With WOOD caught me between classes to thank the WOOD staff for planning and hosting the event. He told me how much he learned during the class sessions, how he enjoyed meeting the world-class teachers and fellow attendees, and more. As we talked, I could see tears welling up in his eyes as he told me, "Dave, this weekend has been life-changing for me. " Wow. " Weekend With WOOD " is a three-day educational seminar that will be held May 16-18, 2014, at WOOD 's world headquarters in Des Moines, Iowa—the very place where every project design in WOOD magazine is tested and built.
