I am glad that you like the blog.<br />Please bear in mind that a lot of my techniques are not necessary ideal since I make them on board with a very limited set of tools. <br /><br />I would think that a snipe type plane would make a fine trench. But perhaps you should scribe the sides first with a knife to avoid some spelching of the grain.<br /><br />I think it is easier to make a regular flat bottomed dado, but they won't work if you want to have a rounded front on the shelves.<br /><br />It is much more important to make experiments in the process and have a great time while building than hurrying the build and not enjoying the building time.<br />If we didn't experiment how could we ever get better? :-)<br /><br />Brgds<br />Jonas<br />Jonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-46406207362146710742017-07-02T08:51:32.074-07:002017-07-02T08:51:32.074-07:00Hi Jonas, I am late to the game here. Yesterday, ...Hi Jonas, I am late to the game here. Yesterday, while thinking about options for my tool cabinet I tried thinking up different ways to make this exact type of dado. I thought of using the chisel like you did but starting with a 1/8 inch dado in the center, sawing, using a 60 degree v-chisel, using a leaned rebate plane, using a leaned side rebate plane, or using snipes bill planes. I think I'll experiment with these methods to see which I like best. And yes, I am a process-oriented type of guy.<br /><br />Really like your Blog.<br /><br />Allen HuntAllen Hunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15226856985949125691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-4840020179585243442016-11-26T15:01:26.490-08:002016-11-26T15:01:26.490-08:00Hi Matt

But for dividing the inside of a spice chest it will be more than strong enough.<br /><br />One of the downsides to this triangular trench method is that it seems more difficult to make the corresponding piece accurately. I guess it could just be the tools and equipment that I have out here combined with the not 100% flat stock though.<br />Or maybe it is just lack of practice.<br /><br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-51604124754725023132016-11-26T11:38:45.396-08:002016-11-26T11:38:45.396-08:00I think some Japanese construction techniques use ...I think some Japanese construction techniques use this triangular trench method. It should look very nice. But I wonder if the trench is needed for any structural purpose then maybe it won't be as strong as a dado. Like maybe the two pieces that have the triangular trench and support the divider might be pushed apart, leaving a gap at the joint. Looking forward to seeing the result.<br /><br />MattTiny Shop Woodworkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10375332433853904113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-77292673882283887812016-11-26T00:31:33.725-08:002016-11-26T00:31:33.725-08:00I had to choose from a glamour shot showing a nice...I had to choose from a glamour shot showing a nice finished trench, or this that shows the setup. I have imposed a limit of maximum 1 picture on myself. <br /><br />I have high hopes that it will end up working.<br /><br />Cheers<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-62568970204389663092016-11-25T22:32:32.018-08:002016-11-25T22:32:32.018-08:00It looks like a good technique.
