Hi all, i have been asked to make 3 little arched bridges for some local childminding gruops/nurseries.They will be 4feet long 18" high with handrail 14" wide all made of 6"x2".What i have to do is edge jion 2/ 6"x2" 4feet long and then draw out the arch on these boards and cut it to shape.My problem is how to edge jion these 2 boards ,biscuits not strong enough.I wondered about pocket holes and kreg exterior screws plus glue or 3/4" dowels and glue if i make a jig up.And maybe a 4"x2" placed horizontally along the back edge where the 2 boards jion the 4"x2" will not be seen.Any ideas people? simplicity and strength is what i am striving for.

Michael, if I was doing this project I would lay out the material and cut the arch. Then bore and insert steel dowels as long as I could and set them in epoxy. I would use a polyurethane glue to bond the 2"x 6" together. This would insure a strong rock solid bond.

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…
