  Very interesting, it'd be cool if you could bring yours in when you have it done. I'd really like to see it.

Have you tried this yet? It seems like it would make deeper grooves than the file does.

I have tried this. It works, but it eventually needs redone, as all other methods I've tried. Thanks for looking into it.

Floating Shelves - Woodworking Projects - American Woodworker - 3 views

joinery

shared by Bryan Koppert on 09 Mar 14 - No Cached

The secret was torsion-box construction. A torsion box is a simple grid of slender ribs glued between thin plywood skins. It makes these shelves stiff and flat, yet incredibly light. This rigid architecture means torsion-box shelves won’t sag or twist, and they can be mounted without any external support.

11. Clamp the three shelf components together without glue, so you can check the fit of the miter joints. Use plywood braces to support the upper shelf and hold everything square.

6. Rout the edges flush. Use a second shelf to support the router and a piece of scrap plywood as a spacer.

Make micro adjustments with a disc sander

  I've never seen this work as well as they claim it does. If you don't do the same thing to all the pieces, the edges won't line up right.

  I tried this, even though you told me it wouldn't work very well. You were right; it didn't work very well. I rounded the miter a bit and made it worse.

Use hot water to soften any paper or glue left on the wood, then scrape it away and sand as usual. 
- Student One on 08 Mar 14
  
  I used too much water, and it weakened the joint. One spot actually came apart. I would recommend using hand tools to get rid of excess stuff.

  I was afraid of that. We have to remember that the normal wood glue we use is water soluble. That's why for cutting boards or outside projects we have to use a different type of glue.

After this, joints can be released from the clamps, but the full glue strength won’t develop for about 24 hours.
- Bryan Koppert on 13 Mar 14
  
  This is why I always say don't stress the joint for 24 hours.
