Well Berry, it appears you forgot to load the picture!

Yes, as long as you have clean, square and flat edges. Apply an even bead of glue to each board. Use a glue brush or your finger to spread the glue evenly across both surfaces then clamp them together. Wait till the squeeze out tacks up, then using a chisel or a small putty knife scrape off the squeeze out. Let dry overnight then sand to clean up the joint.You might want to do a test run on some scrap to get the feel for it before trying on you expensive wood. Once the glue sets up, the joint will be stronger than the wood itself.

Do you have a jointer? Biscuits are not necessary. As long as you have straight, flat and clean joints, all you need is a good wood glue and clamps. Titebond II or Titebond III will do the trick. Yes, you can joint 1/2" wood on a jointer. You can also do it on a router table with shims. Look it up on YouTube. If properly done, the glue joint will be stronger then the wood. Will this be a stand up puzzle or a tray puzzle? If it is a stand up puzzle, 1/2" is not thick enough. You will need 3/4" or thicker.

Outstanding work Dan! What is your blade of choice?

Nice work Al! Can you tell us what blades you used?

Great looking car Dan! Can you tell us what product you use on the wheels and how you apply it?

You've come a long way Dave! I think it came out great!

I use the same thing. Using a drill to turn the dowel blank through the hole might work better though. I'll have to try it.

Smart man Dan! Great tip for everyone. I do have my dust collector hooked up to my drillpress, so it collects most of the shavings when I'm drilling.
