Using a scarf joint. What is a scarf joint, you say. Just make a jig with a 20 degree angle on it. Lay it on your board in the middle, using your circular saw make a long cut on the angle you just drew using a straight edge.. Next using your router, make a clean cut on both long cuts to joint both angle cuts. For every One inch in length you gain in length, you sacrifice 7/16 in width. Look in the project section for a full page ariticle with pictures. Thats the only way I know how to through in a picture. jockmike -- Mike. mwurm13@yahoo.com

I’d seen this technique elsewhere and wondered how effective it was and how you’d go about estimating the trade-off between width and length. -- ...it's rennovation time!!!
