Locking leg joint

[Jim DeLaney]

What about something like this? I read this as being the sort of thing Ted described...

That's the sort of arrangement I had in mind. Relatively simple to lay out, but very sturdy.

With today's glues, pinning would be optional unless you're doing it purely for aesthetic reasons. It doesn't look like they were pinned in the sample piece.

...Nice If you want to lock the joint with a pin, you could do that from the inside where it won't show.

Nice, Dave. That pinned joint isn't going anywhere.

Nice, Dave. That pinned joint isn't going anywhere.

Thanks.

And as a belt and suspenders thing, you could pin it in the other direction, too.
