Hi again Creekers!
Attached is a picture of my workbench design. It's a little deceptive in that it doesn't include details about the type of joinery used. Also, it doesn't include the cabinet & drawers that I plan to build and place in between the top and bottom row of stretchers. The stretchers are joined to the trestle legs using through-mortise & tenons.
Though I haven't glued the frame together, I intend to glue the stretchers & their tenons to the trestle leg mortises. This creates a permanent frame. I'd like to make it more transportable and plan to cut down center each stretcher.
Before I do that though, I'd like to know if there any joinery that I can use to join the two halves of a stretcher.
Each stretcher came from a 2x4x8' stud (a wee smaller since the surfaces have been planed & jointed).

I guess the problem simplifies to 'what joinery do I use to join two 2x4's together the long-way'.
Thanks in advance!
