I have watched only one episode of the Yankee workshop and already I have questions.
He did a bisket joint. They didn't show him making the bisket. Do you buy them pre made? It was elliptical in shape which seems hard to make. He made the cutout with a plunge router which looked like he was making a basically rectangular shaped cutout. When he dropped the bisket into the cutout it didn't fit at all tight. Also it went in more than half the width of the bisket. There was just a little peaking out. All in all this doesn't seem like a very strong joint. In an infomercial I saw someone making a dowel joint. It seems to me to be a much stronger joint. How does a bisket joint compare to a dowel joint. Also I'm not sure but I think he was using some kind of guide to keep the router in the center of the edge of the board. If there is such a thing, what is it called? Also a pronunciation question. Dale and I had a conversation the other night on FTP about a jointer. The yankee used one on the show but he pronounced it joiner. Which is correct? Does it depend on where you come from? Regards.
