Yes I know how to make end to end grain strong with joinery, what I meant is that end to end glueing without any other fastening joinery (like dominos) is weak....(indeed Festool are probably the best (and expensive), but I work mostly with handtools like here: https://www.largeformatphotography.i...ing-box-camera).
Yep, and I would say: don't let yourself mislead by that video. That end to end grain is weaker than side to side grain is a simple rule of math and physical laws: the bigger the glued surface, the stronger the joint.
If you have worked with splines to join (strengthen) end to end grain and side to side grain, and know why the grain has a different direction in those splines depending on its use, you would understand that his examples are misleading.
