So I need some advice:
I'm gluing up some boards to make 10" wide book shelves. I tried a few boards without anything for alignment, and it worked okay, but not perfect. I have one of those self-centering doweling jigs that I've never used. Should I use that or should I bite the bullet and invest in a biscuit joiner? Not the lamello--I was thinking of the Porter Cable. I have 72 shelves to make.....or about 30' of built-in bookcases. One of the esteemed woodworkers on this forum once told me to ask myself what my 10-year plan is before buying power tools or machines. I anticipate lots of built-in cabinets in the 10 years to come. All comments welcome.
