My project has quite a few half-lap joints. I'm thinking of reinforcing them with dowel pins to increase the pull-apart strength. On the other hand I once saw an article that showed where dowel pins actually weaken a mortise and tenon joint (the mortise part broke due to the pins). Rogowski in his book "Joinery" makes no mention of the pins. Any opinions pro or con?
Thanks, DKT
