How to make a CASTLE JOINT

Next week I’ll be making a huge dining table and I want to incorporate castle joints for the legs and skirts, so, I’ll be practicing today and hopefully teaching you how to make one yourselves!

Looks awesome and so much more safer than how I was originally going to go about doing this lol. I’ve seen ppl use everything from a radial arm saw to a multi tool to hog out the cross sections. Your way with the jig will allow me to do this without needing any additional tools! Thanks for sharing! 👍👍

I had an idea of the how to but this definitely helps. By the way the ink on your arms have a meaning to it?

Did you ever make a video on how you made your castle joint sled? Appreciate your videos.

how far down do you cut the cross to except the 2 crossing 2 x 4's? Good job!

The idea of the Castle Joint was great. The reason I did not like the video was that you did not remember you were doing a video for beginners, you went too fast, and the joints were sloppy when you were done. I think it would be a good idea in the future when you are making these videos that you take your time, and show a great product so people can emulate you. You have a good personality on camera. I hope this helps "Learn your craft and do it well". You clearly know about Castle Joints, now do it well.

Remember, you are a teacher, not some joker off of the street. Have a nice day!
