Warren Halpin was the first to send me some photographs of what he has been doing. In this picture he has used Joint-Genie parts to configure the bars in such a way as to get the dowels in the correct position along this mitre joint. No other tool will give this sort of flexibility, accuracy and ease of use.

Here is Warren’s finished breakfast bar ready to be installed. It is made from three pieces of oak worktop. A simple but stylish design.

Frank Cooper e-mailed us these photographs of a table he built from scaffold boards using the 8mm Joint-Genie Craftsman. This was his first attempt at a woodwork project. It just goes to show what can be achieved with a minimum of tools and a Joint-Genie.

Frank went on to build a neat little box to house his Joint-Genie, all Genie-jointed, of course!

I thought I'd try something easy as a first trial of the Joint-Genie!

6'6" extended bed sides in Sapele. The size of my planer meant that I had to join two sections together. Normally they would be biscuited or tongue and grooved. But the dowels are much more positive. As a test of accuracy its brilliant. Fits exactly and no step at the join at all. Terrific.
