Another approach to back joint reinforcement

"Quietly" ? :-)

I do glue my back reinforcement strips in . How can you be assured you have glue where you want it ? You can't . I use the razor blade method to notch it . This method was shown to me by David Nichols of Malone NY that was doing it for 50 yrs. It works very well. You can get a perfect joint with minimum skill.

That's how I do it. Neat, clean, perfect joint.

I will try and post some pics . I don't glue my back strip into one piece and plan the joint under a brace. I use a straight edge to line up the reinforcement strip and then glue it in using my go bar deck. I use 2 methods to open the slot for the back braces , one I use the razor blades and the other I use my inlay tool and rout out the opening.
Before I do that I like to radius my strips . Often I inlay the back strips for design appeal . Have a great Holiday guys
