Miter joints are beautiful, but sometimes they can benefit from a little reinforcement to help keep them together.
Even though there are mechanical options such as biscuits, dowels, and possibly even screws or nails, a potentially eye-catching option might be to cut slots across the joint and insert a spline.
For a recent project, I needed a jig to cut splines in narrow stock, so rather than building a big sled like I’ve seen elsewhere, I grabbed some scraps and put together something I’ll be using for years to come in a matter of minutes.
