Doweled this one is, is there another way to biscuit joint without buying a machine ?? never used one before. The other smaller frames I'm doing a lap joint then a dowel through.

 

I've seen another guy that does mirrors when I have stalls on but he silicone's the mirrors to the wood :001_rolleyes: each to there own I guess, it's a shame as they are nice mirrors but its the first thing I spotted.

 

For biscuiting without a biscuit jointer you can get a wing cutter that goes in a router that leaves a slot the same thickness as a biscuit. If you can scrape the money together for a biscuit jointer I would be amazed if you regretted it as it is an incredibly useful machine. I have a cheap Freud one that I thought would not last but it would get me started. That was over ten years ago and at it is still perfect having done 10s of thousands of biscuits.

 

Mirrors look good :thumbup:
