Dang, that little tip on take a 64th and a 64th is awesome… and I would never (in a million lug-head years) ever have been practical to think of doing so. Million dollar tip of knowledge. Thanks from me and my son! Love learning new stuff.

Great tips Jon! Thanks for taking the time to do this video!!!

Hello Mr Peters! Greetings from Nicaragua. God bless you always.

Great idea on shaving the 64th. I might also consider doing the last method on all lap joints instead of trying to nibble out the cuts.

[MCsCreations]

Fantastic tips, Jon! Thanks a lot! 😃
I need to show your video for my father tomorrow morning! To show the difference the blades make, because of a project he wants to make!
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[carbonfe]

Excellent procedure tips! It really made me laugh when you said "OK, that wasn't supposed to happen..."

[davidmeyer]

Thanks Jon. I always learn something from you.

[dsmith]

I love these videos! Great learning from someone with such skills, and a professional!

The tip taking off a 64th was so smart. If both lap joints are the same size, why not cut them at the same time? I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos.

Hey Jon thanks for the lesson my request is can you also show how to make this joint using Sheet Ply or MDF for example like for shelvings

[veloumurugesan]

Hi Jon, Thank you very much for your video about lap joint. Looking forward to see more videos. Thank you

[sapelesteve]

Now those were excellent tips and tricks Jon! I also like the fact that lap joints are very strong & stable joints when done correctly. Great video! 👍👍👏👏

[hobobear]

Clever... that last trim was very helpful.

Interesting. I didn't remember the 'building' of the lap joint for the round Lilly table--this was a good refresher.

Great demo, Jon~! I like the trick of ripping the thinnest slice off of the opposite side of the notch to make the faces flush. Great tip~!!
Don't know if you've ever tried this one, but I'm practicing with a new joint of my own: the castle (or Shiro) joint. We saw the ad for the bed frame that uses them (Thuma) and I'm taking on constructing my own. I'm using some crazy expensive 2-by as well to do the mock up (practice) before tackling the hardwood. Looking at either Walnut or Cherry for the bed frame. Can't wait to see how this turns out~!

Appreciate the video Jon. I wondered if there should be some accounting for glue volume within lap joints when setting up for cuts. I have had a perfectly flush dry fit on religious crosses that I've started building and end up with a proud appearance on both sides after glue up. Thanks again.

To set the width you can use an off cut set against your stop block. Make the 1st cuts and then remove the off cut.

[dennisferron]

Oh hey this gives me an idea for building cube/cubby storage. If you alternate vertical and horizontal (and don't care if the shelves are slats instead of sheets) you could make a grid of cubbies without any cutting at all (like a tic tac toe hash).

well done. im looking into making a pantry shelving unit with 1x8's, about 48" x 66", hoping this might be doable.
