Once the setup is right the joint can be cut very fast, and the mechanical interlock the joint provides makes it very strong. <br/><br/>For a drawer lock joint to fit correctly, the height of the bit and the fence position must both be perfect. If either one is off, you’ll have a lousy fit, which compromises the joint.

<p>Hi,</p>
<p></p>
<p>I've never done anything like this before. I'm building a chicken coop with run and thought I read around enough to have a solid plan before starting the work. I considered getting the Kreg HD for extra peace of mind, but got the impression that even the standard screws will do an excellent job so saved some money going that route.</p>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p></p>
<p>I've never done anything like this before. I'm building a chicken coop with run and thought I read around enough to have a solid plan before starting the work. I considered getting the Kreg HD for extra peace of mind, but got the impression that even the standard screws will do an excellent job so saved some money going that route.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Whiles assembling the frame, I discovered that keeping the edges clamped was actually more difficult that I thought. Some joins just didn't feel like they were flush and screwing them together didn't always completely close the gap. the bevel on the 2x4's also didn't help.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Here's what I'm using to design and plan:</p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1800820393?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="750" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1800820393?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750" class="align-full"/></a></p>
<p><br/>I designed it similar to this:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.backyardchickens.com/images/0-images/65588/65588_img_1650.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.backyardchickens.com/images/0-images/65588/65588_img_1650.jpg" class="align-full"/></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.backyardchickens.com/a/the-triple-c-the-crouches-chicken-coop">http://www.backyardchickens.com/a/the-triple-c-the-crouches-chicken-coop</a></p>
<p></p>
<p>So, its 4 frames joined at the corners, with an additional frame for the coop wall resting on some supports. For every join I used 2x 2.5" bluekote screws. When I was putting the inside frame up, one of the support legs started to come loose. So I just screwed them to the outer frames hoping this will be enough. But now I am concerned about the whole structure.</p>
<p></p>
<p>This is the inside frame:</p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1800820350?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="750" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1800820350?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750" class="align-full"/></a></p>
<p></p>
<p>Now I'm worried that this size frame is just too big to be held by only 2 screws top and bottom. The studs are 4 feet apart as they will be covered with just hardware cloth, but the entire structure will have to hold up a metal roof. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Am I just overreacting here? After all, this design seems to have worked for the guys above.</p>
<p>Would adding more studs reducing the gap from 4 feet to 2 feet make a difference?</p>
<p>Or maybe using hardware to secure the stud joints like they have above?</p> Strength of Rubber Wood Finger-Joint Sheettag:kregjig.ning.com,2014-08-10:2900167:Topic:6399692014-08-10T12:54:04.541ZChandra Shekhar Pullellahttps://kregjig.ning.com/profile/ChandraShekharPullella
<p>Hi All,<br/></p>
<p>I am thinking of cutting 2-inch rails from rubber wood finger-joint sheet, and using those for cabinetmaking (cabinet with frame). Can anyone tell me if the strength of the rails will be appropriate? The sheet thickness would be 1-inch. <br/></p>
