Hi there, I have gotten quite a few replies to some questions I sent out a few days ago, which are proving very helpful. I am also enjoying the discussion on glue for hive contruction. I now have some more questions and comments. First, on Box joint... Most people agree that they are a strong joint, but it has been mentioned a couple time that they have more end grains exposed that a lap joint, this leading to quicker rot if the paint comes off due to wear. As well they are a bit harder to build yourself. Then there is the lap joint, easy to construct, perhaps not quite as strong as the box joint, but maybe so if glued with the right glue, and screwed or nailed properly. A favored joint amongst those who build their own equipment, and do not want to have to fiddle around with the Dado and caliper much. And then there is the Butt/biscuit joint that a couple people have suggested, though I am not sure if that was through bee-l or to me personally. Combining the simplicity of simply cutting the boards to the proper length, and then using the strength of the bisuit. But as my brother is pointing out as I type, it maybe be hard to get that accurate due to the fact that the boards are being joined at right angles, and not side to side as what biscuit jointers are commonly used for. Origanally I was asking about using the Kreg joint for the joint above as well, but I think that that is not exactly the best thing to do now that I have read all the reply's. So now that I have typed all that I am almost forgetting what my original question was. I think I was kinda wanting to know if there was any other points for or against the methods above that should be added. Please let me know, and I will summerize them as well if I receive some off the list. Another thing, does anyone have a picture of the interlocking corner joint. I have drawn one here, but I am sure it is not like I saw it once, but I cannot figure it out. If anyone know what it looks like, please try to draw it and send it, or at least discribe it? Well, I think I am about typed out. I know I forget something, I will have to read through the posts that I got earlier to see if I can remember. Thanks for all the input.
