Eric. Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 How do you cut splines to fit the shape of the wings the ATB leaves? It's a flat surface against a v-shaped surface...unless you used liquid splines, there have to be gaps. I'll admit...they're hardly visible because of the contrasting woods...but they're still there.

Llama Posted March 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 I promise there are no gaps. Don't tell me that you don't know the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric. Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 I don't. Tell me. I thought the trick was to use a flat ground blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Don't tell me that you don't know the trick. Are you referring to the glue squeeze out bridging the space between the spline and the wing? They look really good Mel, sorry for busting balls we all gotta do it once in a while. It reminds us that we're human, and not a bunch of ass kissing robots on the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llama Posted March 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 I'm sure you've seen it, just may have not needed it before.If you ever have a gap in something, miters, plugs, splines... whatever.. Add a little super glue to the void and wait a second or so and then sand it. The wood dust will fill any gaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Mel, you should have a blade custom ground to cut the next splines in the shape of an "M". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
