My brother wants a book case.
I've got the wood, and machinery.
He does not live near me.
So, I'll be milling the wood, and mailing it to him.
And my question is....
He wants 9 foot sides, so I'll be milling 4.5 foot long boards for the sides, whereupon he'd butt joint two, to get 9 feet.
To ease his assembly, I was thinking of different joinery solutions for these butt joints.
How about I drill holes and include dowels for him?
Or, would Festool's domino's be better?
I'm thinking all he'd then need to do, is spread some glue, and slide them together, letting them cure overnight.
Does that sound like a good plan?
