I understand the individual splines 1/4 X 3/4 or so. I understand the spacer blocks between the splines.
What I am having a problem with is how do you attach the splines to the risers?

About any way that you want to. I personally just use glue to attach the splines to the risers, applying a bit of the glue as I lay the splines down. Any exccess squeezed out just gets wiped up as I go along or chiseled off if I forget. Another way is to drill down through the spline and put a screw in there. This works best if there are no spacers or the spacers are long enough to fully go over the riser.

Hot glue. only needs clamping 3-4 minutes and you keep on moving! Chooch
There are different grades of hot glue- the stuff I've seen work best for benchwork is sold is quantity to professional woodworkers in yellowish sticks. The grayish sticks that are for craft work aren't really suitable at all for benchwork.
Any idea which he used?
