Is there anyway to get a picture of the joint from the “top” as it were?
26 December 2017 at 3:20 pm #418378Easiest way is just a (half)Lap joint and securing it with 2 dowels.
27 December 2017 at 2:20 pm #419029Perhaps there is a joint in the front or the back that we can’t see, but the legs appear to be simply glued together. The dowels that hold the “shelf” in place appear to be through the front leg only. This is not a terribly secure joint, but how long has this been in use? Maybe it is good enough? If I was going to make one, I think I would put a mortise in from the rear to join the 2 legs together. (Or at least some dowels which would keep with the current theme.) If it is a blind tenon (or dowels), it would never be seen from the front, but would still do a good job of strengthening the legs.
