Hi All,
I'd like to build a small free-standing road sign for my toddler son's room that has pointers to the towns where his grandparents live. The sign will be 4-5 ft tall. I'm looking for pointers on how to build the base. I was thinking of a plus-shaped footprint with diagonal braces connecting the base with the post. I guess I'll try recessing the post into the base with a mortise-tenon joint.
