Hello,
I have another post about joining boards and this is what it is going to be used for. Essentially I am going to be making something similar to this:
https://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NzY4WDEwMjQ=/z/Dy0AAOSw9GhYe5pM/$_86.JPG
With a semi circular top and bottom without the legs. The replacement for the legs will be a 20-30mm board joining the two.
I was thinking that a mortise and tenon joint would be best where the joining board has two tenons on each side and the top and bottom semi circles have the mortise. Would this be the best approach as it would be supporting the weight over hanging, granted it will only be maybe a couple of remotes and drinks plus its own weight. Would this work or would I need to rethink this?
Also if I needed the centre board to be 300mm tall if I were doing this would I need to make it say 400mm and have say a 50mm tennon / mortise to make up the height loss?
Thanks
James
