Default Glue vs. No Glue


"JackD" wrote in message ...


Not only should it have glue, but it should also have another form of
mechanical fasteners, other than nails. Some like biscits, I prefer

dado
and rabbits to A) increase glue surface area and B) control dimensions.
I've done both. With the dado and rabbits, or biscits, with good

clamping,
no or very few nails are needed.

What do you do with the rabbits? With biscuits and rabbits you could have

a
decent meal, but I don't know how the rabbit will help with your cabinets.

LOL!!!

I put a dado in the styles, and a rabbit on the side of the cabinet. 1/4"
reveal when finished, so put a 3/8" dado starting 5/8" in from the outside
edge of the style. 3/8" rabbit on the outside of the side.
