I'm building 2 night stands from QSWO, arts/crafts style. I don't have a mortiser and am wondering if biscuit joinery will be sufficient to attach the apron and stretcher pieces to the legs. I'm concerned about end grain butt joints with only a biscuit and glue.
I have a router table and purchased a spiral bit to make some slotted jigs. I'm wondering if I could use this setup to make the mortises? I also have an old PC 690 plunge router.
This is my first furniture build (I'm a cabinet guy) and I plan to make more in the A/C style. I've been looking at dedicated mortisers but am moving out of state within the year and would prefer waiting until I'm in my new shop to make the purchase....however I've got an itchy trigger finger and adding 1 more piece of tooling to the move isn't a huge deal.
