So I have this cabinet and the side panel won’t stay glued to the back panel. I was looking around online and found a machine called a biscuit joiner. If you are planning on making furniture, a lot of furniture is glued together with carpenters glue on a biscuit or a plate. A buscuit is an oval shaped piece of wood that you use to join two pieces of wood together. You put the glue on the biscuit and it immediately put it in the slot. The biscuit will expand and tighten and the glue will dry giving it a stronger bond than the wood itself!
I’ve got five reasons why you should buy a biscuit joiner. One reason to buy a biscuit joiner is, of course, that it’s a better alternative to hand saws. You know right where the excess wood is going to go. Another reason one should buy a biscuit joiner is it gets the job done in a fraction of the time. The third reason you should buy a biscuit joiner is if it’s on sale. The fourth reason you should buy a biscuit joiner is because it will help you get your wood projects done easier if you need it. The fifth and final reason you should buy a biscuit joiner is if you have a piece of furniture that needs repair. The biscuit joiner is best for joining two pieces of wood together with a tight bond.
Some other things you might want to buy with your buscuit joiner are plate joinery biscuits, a biscuit cutter gauge, a plate joiner kit and there is such thing as a self clamping biscuit. This would be very helpful if you can find it. I ordered my biscuit joiner today! Wish me luck on my cabinet problem!
