Another query,
I do alot of edgeto edge jointing on solid wood table tops.
I never use dowels or biscuits, only PVA, rub joint and sash cramps.
The reason I don't use the above is mainly due to the time factor.
I don't think this way of doing it is any less strong. Also, Victorian and Georgian cabinet makers very rarely used dowels, just relying on the glue
itself and scotch glue at that!
Anyone agree? or would you always use the biscuits and dowels and think that glue on its own is weaker?
Regards
