Great idea and going one step further into putting a new twist on a project looks amazing.

Thank you, Herschel. Appreciate the comments and thanks for watching.

Nice looking joint. Only thing I can think of doing different is using a block plane to take down the splines instead of sanding. All that sanding on the corners will show - especially if the finish will be gloss. Great video!

Hi Ron, yes, you are correct and I thought about that. I thought the same although I don't have a plane! Thank you for watching.

Great idea that turned out beautifully. Next box I make will use this technique. Thanks for the idea and useful tips.

I appreciate the feedback, @Lutzboater. Thank you for watching!

Thanks for the continued good ideas and projects. Adding that crossbar is a nice touch to fix that splines don’t always exactly match up as you note.

Thanks, Courtney!

What is your process of repeatability for the other three corners?

Hi Mark, I simply repeat the process for the other three corners. Hope that helps and thanks for watching.
