I am about to cut a bunch of ply to make some more shop draw cabinets and plan on using Alan B's corner joint image
We learnt of this joint from him during his kitchen cab build. I have already privately asked Alan for the best practice method to cut this edge and the additional dimension needed to be added to the piece in question.
I thought it would be an interest post to have on its own and raise some debate about how best to go about cutting this edge on ply.
While waiting on Alans response is there anyone here that can venture a method for me to try.
All I seem to be able to do as of right now is totally overthink the method and I aint even going to go there.
Just some thoughts I have, it would seem to me the joint and depth is a full size blade kerf wide/long.
If this is the case I might be pooched.
But for the life of me I cannot get my mind around where and how to start cutting an edge like this efficiently. My emphasis is on the efficiently part. I can cut it but I would be here all day with one piece that don't make sense to me that a cabinet maker like Alan would then bother with a joint like this. So there has to be a simple clever well thought out way that I just cannot see right now.
Thanks for any replies.
