This week I’m building a simple spline jig. Plans are available on my website https://almfab.com/plans

This jig can be built in less than an hour with plywood scraps and works on any table saw or router with a fence. Splines reenforce miter joints and they look good too. I use them in my shop on picture frames and decorative boxes.

Big thanks to long time supporter of my channel, Rockler!

Table Saw Blades I use (affiliate links)
Note because I have a 3 hp saw I use “ industrial” 1/8” kerf blades. If you have a lower power saw you'll want to use "Thin Kerf" Blades.
