Splice bow project
Muskyman:
Decided to try a test piece like was mentioned on here here’s my result.
Eric Krewson:
That is really good for a first try. To get it just a little better on the bottom joint sand that tight spot above the yellow thing on your work bench just a little or heat the splice and clamp it. I always sand the prong on the outside edge and not the inside the Z if that makes sense I use my belt sander and give the tight area a light touch where the belt rolls over and repeatedly check my fit until I have it right. I don't know how to add arrow lines to a picture to point out an area that needs work.
It was a good idea to do a practice splice, yours is good enough and would work just fine when clamped but I always like to fine tune mine.
Muskyman:
Thanks Eric. I guessing you’re talking about where it’s marked here in red.
bjrogg:
Great tips from Eric. And I’ll second the practice suggestion.

Eric Krewson:
Yep, you have a little bowed out place in your cut that is keeping the tip and the back end from bottoming out on the splice and creating the gaps.
