Trying to work out a 3-way miter and wanted to bounce the design off you guys. Its sort of unique in the sense that the joints Ive seen have all three components the same dimension, 2x2, or whatever. In this case the table leg is 2x2 but will mate with 2 separate aprons each at 1" (half the leg thickness.) The front apron is mitered, the 'rear-apron' is M&T into the leg. The reason for this is to replicate a table design from Create and Barrel, their parsons table . Also I think with this design I could get some added strength with the half-lap but not sure. Anyway, what do you guys think? Looks pretty straight forward as far as fab as well which is nice. How well do you think this would support ~3 adults as a standalone joint for the a bench seat, 64" long? Ill probably dry-fit the joint then see how strong it is, then maybe add some more bracing is racking is an issue. The boss isn't a fan of stretchers for this design so Im trying to avoid it.
Feedback would be appreciated!
