doyle007 Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Like sjk mentioned, the recent issue of Popular Woodworking has an article on the spring joint. They mention that the gap should be big enough to just slide a piece of copy paper through it, or at most a business card. I am going to be using this method to build an alaia, which is basically a solid wooden surfboard. I think that the spring joint will work well for this scenario. If not, well then it won't be much of an issue, as I have broken plenty of boards in the past. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldog Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Looks like you already figured the spring joint out, but here is a link to a new FWW video that may be beneficial. It's probably behind a paywall. http://www.finewoodworking.com/2017/01/24/ep-1-panel-glue-ups-using-spring-joint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
