Learn the basics in performing biscuit joints in your cabinetry projects. Biscuit joints are great for hiding screw-in joints and having to cap them off to hide the screws. Biscuit joints give a more professional and clean look, especially if you are looking for that extra detail in your joinery. In this video I will take you through how I do my biscuit joints and will also share with you some of the industry tips to help you gain more confidence when using biscuit joints in your joinery.

Thank you so much this was exactly what I needed to see I’m making a small set of shelves to hold small dropper bottles 💜🌺

Thank you very much for sharing your tips and trips. I'll be using my biscuit joiner this weekend, to build my first set of shelves for my family, and I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video!

There's no need to use your 90 degree support when plunging into the shelf area of the gables. You can use the shelf itself - or any straight edge for that matter - to act as a guide. Then go ahead and hold the baseplate of the joiner up against the edge guide and plunge your joiner's blade down into the gable. Bing, bang, boom; quick and easy and no need for any special shop made guide.

Hello. How would you do it if your board has 1-2mm ABS edges and you have to move the counter board (usually by the thickness of the ABS edge). I hope you know what I mean. Thank you

What if there are Two shelves on either side of the verticle? Do you stagger the biscuits ? or use #10 biscuits ? so that they don't hit each other in the same groove ?

I had a previous build making a bookcase with this situation however the material was thicker - 25mm so I didn't have that problem. The easiest way would be to stagger the biscuits instead of using smaller ones (#10) to give it more surface area and strength. Good luck with your project 👍

Hey, thank you for the video! I was just about to embark on another project that involves mid shelves, and I'd planned on using biscuit joinery, so the timing is perfect! Thanks again.

Hey Geoff Whats method is stronger. Using a series of 6 biscuits number 20 (for both sides) for shelves and titebond 2 and clamping it Or method 2 Creating dados for shelves and screwing it. Using 3 screws on each sides and glue. I have been using both methods and find no difference. Like to hear your opinion

@geoffsjoinery4990 Ай бұрын

Hi mate, probably your method #2, the dados are deeper and if you said you can get 3 x screws each side plus glue, that’s going to be strong. Thanks for watching.👍

Curious... what do you do if the biscuits are too loose (like mine)? I am actually considering taking my blade to the surface grinder and taking a few thou off each tooth!

@geoffsjoinery4990 4 ай бұрын

Generally speaking, if the biscuits are loose, then the glue will take up the slack it may only be an issue if you are trying to line edges up flush and accurately, but most times when using biscuits you will need to clamp your components together so it’s not a real big deal
