Welcome
Today is the part two of cutting and bonding 45 degree miter connection
This is a difficult topic, so read the description. Please.
I use masking tapes , 24 mm.The color is not important. It is important that this tape be somewhat stretchy!!!
In different countries these colors can be different
It is important that this tape be somewhat stretchy!!!
If the tape is stretchy, it tightens the pieces to each other..
I start from the simplest one, and I use green tape in order to be more visible in camera...
That is melamine on particle board .
Where is the end......?
you stick on one element, you press ..., you press the tape by your thumb ... and tear off.
I try make it other hand....
you stick on one element, you press ..., you press the tape by your thumb ... and tear off.
already two tapes nicely stabilize the elements
on the long items (2... 3 m and longer) the bonding must be done different way be done .
You must put couple tapes Just to hold the pieces together...
then bent it on the straight! the edges of the bench...
Elements connected in two planes ( on 90 degree angle) will be straight !
the same story.. you stick on one element, you press ..., you press the tape by your thumb ... and tear off.
The tape from the tape is about 2- 3 inches
you stick on one element, you press ..., you press the tape by your thumb ... and tear off.
There is just a little bit more than 90 degree.The amount is just enough to fit the glue.
the glue is not a filler !!!!
I close and open to make the material suck glue
The wet rug is very important
I secure it with tape as well.
If we pull too much, the corner will open
clean it up
Check the angle ..
I am a strong guy and I often pull too much...so you need to loosen the tension of the tapes....

Now is perfect
Next trick with dowel...
good when is smooth, round. We squeeze gently on each side of the edge...
Regardless of the material when the adhesive moistens our surfaces, the edge tends to bend.... and open the corner !!!
especially on painted or laminated materials

So when you pres the edges and the glue dried the corner will be looks perfect
So when you pres the edges and the glue dried the corner will be looks perfect
be careful !! The edges are so sharp...
I cut my hands many times !!!
Now I will bond the column.
I make it the same way.Not matter the size.For the bigger elements you need more skills and experience and helpers as well.
Do not forget to mark everything before cut.That cause the work easier and you can easy match the grain .
to mark my elements I use the pencil or chalk
I will arrange the elements in the sequence as they are to be stuck together
the first and last are on the ends
OK, Let glue it....
Like I said.First just 2 or 3 stripe of tape in order just hold them in place..
elements should be cut and glue together on the same day. If they stay longer than 24 hours can be distorted. That's what happened in this case.
especially solid wood...
on crooked material the tape will not be able to tighten and close the gaps !!!
That can create really problems
Tapes are holding the elements, but each subsequent tape being stretched will tighten this material together more and more....
each subsequent tape being stretched will tighten this material together more and more....
you stick on one element, you press ..., you press the tape by your thumb ... and tear off.
that first and second elements.
Now is time for the 3-d one....
The same way.........
you stick on one element, you press ..., you press the tape by your thumb ... and tear off.
the first three straps to hold it down and then after bending I put on the rest of the bands....
Unfortunately some parts get warped
the first three straps to hold it down and then after bending I put on the rest of the bands....
Each next tape I attach to the previous one ...
in this way, the removal of these tapes takes place much faster and easier
Especially on huge jobs where you have thousands of pieces of the masking tape for remove....
usually at the end I put two layers of the tape
Now the same way the last part of the column
I stick on one element, I press ..., I press the tape by my thumb ... and tear off.
Now I flip it over
I'm opening it for gluing
I put a little of glue...
then I roll it up and develop it
then I apply the glue for the first and the last pieces.
smears from the inside out
...but remember glue is not the filler !!!
Sometimes in C shape elements both sides are visible... and the glue can be visible as well....
If necessary ad a little of glue
The last part of the material must suck the glue
Usually I cut my materials with scoring blade... Just in case.
... and it looks better
My grandfather used to say "Whatever you do, do that way, that you can sign with your ful name without shame"
Now I put the masking tape on the last corner.The same way what I said....
the tape should be at least every 5 - 6cm.....
Now.... the wet rug ... and clean the glue up....
Noe the trick with dowel.....gently....all corners....
If you master this skill perfectly. This will put you on a completely different level of professionalism !
especially for prefinished and finished materials...
If you master this skill perfectly. This will put you on a completely different level of professionalism !
Very few people can do it very well ! ... so it will allow you to earn really big money!
Some people seem to be able to do it, but the effects of their work are highly unacceptable.
Not to extend it, I put in the same way the tapes on the counter top.
Now I flip it over.
Glue the same way...............
Now the corners.The same way... and not too much glue....
I use my fingers to aplly the glue...
Wet rug... useful like always...
Now the same way I put the tape on the corners.....
Corners are sharp... so be careful
...... the same way I put the tape on the corners.....
If is necessary put 2 or 3 layers of the tape..
...the same way I put the tape on the corners.....
Small elements I usually flip them over. The big ones usually I do not flip them over..
Check it up .Wipe out the glue if necessary...
Too much glue on the veneered material causes many troubles !!!!
Too much glue = slappy job
Too much glue on the veneered material causes ....showing stain after staining.
And nothing much you can do in that case....
usually If you want to sand down this glue ,you burn thru the veneer. And this is the end !!! You must start all over again...
Now I must wait till the glue dry.
I forgotten assemble the last sample for you.....
that is 5 mm. plywood. Prefinished on one side.
The same way what I just showed you.
The same way what I just showed you.
The tapes have to be quite often. Especially on thin materials ! .... there is a tendency to open the corners....
I glue it now...
For glue and assemble huge corners I've made plywood corners...
There are important that on both sides be a right angle.
There are important that on both sides be a right angle.
For that little piece masking tape is enough.
check the angle....
perfect....
I check the angle again on full length.....
Why is it important to check it out on all the length?
... because if you have to combine these elements with each other and at the end of the elements will be different, this connection will be poor...
For commercial jobs this way we made the casings with the door jambs.For every opening was two pieces of L shape jambs and casings.
somewhere I have piece of scrap
I found it..
That the one...
Perfect right angle...
after glue it ,we use to cut the pieces on miter ..., corner connection.
The channel for spline..
That is scrap...
There are two parts like this for every opening.One piece is wider the second narrower.
This part is a jamb...
That channel for spline.
There are two parts like this for every opening.One piece is wider the second narrower.
These two elements of "L "shape are assemble in one of "C" shape.
That way you have the door jamb and casing in one piece.
For commercial jobs the casings are usually without any profiles
These two elements of "L "shape are assemble in one of "C" shape.
That way is so much easier to finish it
These two elements of "L "shape are assemble in one of "C" shape.
The connection(seam) are under the door stops...
Gluing in this way has incredibly many applications.....
Most commercial building in cites like New York City or Chicago e.c.t. have that kind of door jambs.
This way is quick, quite easy and economic!!!
This skill should be included in each professional's set...
your imagination only can limit use of this connection !!!!
in the meantime when the glue dries I did a few corners/scribes for work...
There is not wall yet so I made the scribe 4" wider.............
so that is the scribe to the wall.
that was made the same way.Because this is the fastest way for me..
The high end cabinetry usually have the scribes even with the front of the cabinet fronts...
Not undone....
The high end cabinetry usually have the scribes even with the front of the cabinet fronts...
For installing it I use screws
it is screwed now so you do not lose it in transportation.
this is another scribe from finished material...
That piece was lost during the transportation
The same way I made the base plat for base cabinet.
The bottom will be scribe to the floor...
Now the glue should be dry....
Now I must remove all the tapes...
That is what I said about removing the tape.
You pull one and remove them all around
I wanted to show you the way ... and now you have to develop your skills yourself.
the worst is to break the open door. I did it.....on the past.
It takes some time.....
That is great done column(sample)
I have specially done it with painted material to show that it is possible.That is much more difficult than make with rough materials.

Finishing the columns are tricky always....
You need same brackets...

If is possible much easier for me is make it from finished materials.

That are samples made from scraps....
That the counter top sample....
Be especially careful when removing the tape. The tape can rip out a pieces of material.

Industrial finish is usually more durable and harder than done yourself.
Now days the satin and mat finishes are trendy ..
Mat finish on the car look like mistake of the designer ... that my opinion...
At the end of so long video I put the photos of this stuff an other made by me. Watch carefully...
It looks perfect....
that is the last piece what I made...
so much easier is made it from not finished materials....
that scrap of veneer on MDF.
so much easier is made it from not finished materials... because you can patch it...and hide any imperfections
before you get ready for doing 3 and more meters elements, You must get practice on the short elements.
I even do the basics for cabinets in this way, because it is faster and cheaper and often also better.
I hope it will help you become better cabinet maters.
See you soon.
