As I'm new to the forum and woodworking (the only woodworking I have ever done was to build a "Stick bow" - tools used drawknife and rasp.) Here is something I have come up with, would it work? I call it the "Double-Dove" it would be used to attach sidebeams to a post. Please have a look and tell me if it will work or if I over thought it. A sliding dovetail may be hard to cut, one could change the style.
