>Stephen,

It appears that the demonstration is of a miter joint, then the splines are cut in using the holding jig.

The kind of spline or feather I was thinking of was inside the miter joint running up and down, sorta like a long biscuit and wouldn't be visible.

My name is Marv Werner. I live Northern California, in Lake County. I retired in 1999 after owning an electronics business that produced coil assemblies for Hewlett Packard, Snap-On-Tools and other similar companies. I was in that business for 19 years. During prior years in the San Francisco Bay Area, I was vice president of two different companies. Got tired of the rat race and moved to Lake Co. in 1976 and sold real estate for four years. Hated it because it didn't involve getting my hands dirty. I have a combination woodworking and machine shop in the lower story of a house that I built back in 1981. I have a great interest in hand tools in general but am most involved with collecting and restoring old handsaws. I sell some on eBay and also do custom restoring and saw sharpening. The amount that I have learned here on WoodCentral is immeasurable. One of the things I've learned, I'm pretty much of a hack compared to so many people who frequent this site.
