I used biscuit joinery to assemble the
sides of the Knock-Down Classic
Bookshelf, but the traditional mor-
tise and tenon joinery shown at right
will do the job just as well.
A FEW CHANGES . If you choose to go
this route, you’ll need to make a
change to the order of things. On
the “biscuit-joined” bookshelf I
first completed all the rail-to-spin-
dle joinery and then added the
stiles at the tail end. Here, the stile-
to-rail joinery comes first. The rea-
son is simple. You’re going to start
with rails that are 50mm longer
than those for the biscuit-joined
bookshelf. This allows you 25mm
on either end for a tenon. But until
the tenons are cut and the shoul-
der-to-shoulder length of the rails
is established, you can’t accurately
locate the notched filler strips that
form the spindle mortises.
OFFSET MORTISES . The 25mm-thick
stiles and the 18mm-thick rails are
flush across the inside face of the
sides. To make this happen, either
the mortises or the tenons need to
be cut “off centre”. To me, it’s easier
to offset the mortises in the stiles as
shown in detail ‘b’. This way you
can still cut centred tenons on the
rails. Just take your time when lay-
ing out and cutting the mortises
and you should end up with a per-
fectly flush inside face.
TENONS . Before cutting the tenons
on the rails, you’ll want to cut the
centred grooves that hold the filler
strips. Once the grooves are com-
pleted, the centred tenons can be
cut to fit the mortises in the stiles
(detail ‘a’). When fitting the tenons,
leave a little top-to-bottom play.
This makes it easier to “snug up”
the spindles and rails when you
assemble the sides.
SPINDLES . Once the rail-to-stile
joinery is completed, the spindles
are fitted as shown in the article. W
