Do Splines even DO ANYTHING?? You will be surprised!

Miter joints are very common in woodworking, especially in picture frames. These joints are said to be weak because they are essentially end grain glued to end grain, so they are often reinforced with a spline.

Do splines add strength to a miter joint? Everyone assumes yes, but in this video I test whether or not that is true, and the results really surprised me.

I am very interested to hear what you think of these results, since they are very counterintuitive. Please leave your thoughts in the comments below, and perhaps I can improve this experiment and shoot another video on this subject.

Thanks for watching!
