I own both the "red" and "green" workbooks, but can't find them. I'm hoping someone out there can relay some info I need.

There's a diagram that shows minimum edge, center to center, and end distances for pegs in wood splines. I need all of those values. I'm using an in-line pattern, and not a staggered pattern of pegs.

Thanks!

This chart was developed by Ben Bungraber, then of Benson Woodworking.

It is somewhat sensitive to species.

I believe it is an extrapolation of data originally developed by the American Institute of Timber Construction (the post and bolt folks) which should be available onbline.

I apologize for not being able to produce the Brungraber chart for you. Someone on this Forum is sure to be better prepared than I.
