Many woodworkers lack confidence in their glue joints. The way to overcome that is by getting to know your products and materials. This is accomplished by experimenting and testing - particularly through destructive testing. In this video I show a couple of the methods that I use to test my glue joints. Testing your joints to the point of wood failure will give you quite a bit of information. Close examination of the results will allow you to understand if you may suffer product failure in your product or if your woodworking techniques are falling short. I advise caution when testing wood to the point of failure, but these methods are quite safe and easily controlled. Share the Love~Share the Knowledge Todd A.
