Hi,
i have recently undertaken a project to build, for my family, a dining set. The table is completely custom and ready for varathane. I was recently told by my better half that I best be doing some chairs too, to match the table. The problem is, I don't have access to a multitude of tools. My question is this... Short of buying a kreg jig and pocket screws, would a simple dowel reinforced joint be strong enough to withstand the pressure put against the backrest of the chairs in this photo? Upon drawing out a template, the rear legs and the back rest supports are attached at a 20 degree angle (both the leg and the upright have a 10 degree taper at the joint.)
