3 joinery alternatives

Mortise-and-tenon joints are premier furniture joints because of their inherent strength, but you could use quicker methods and still get long-lasting joints. Have a pocket-hole jig, doweling jig, or a biscuit joiner? You can use any of these tools to quickly and securely join the hall table aprons (B, C) to the legs (A) in place of the mortise-and-tenon joints. Simply locate and drill the holes for #8x11/2" washer-head pocket screws or 3 /a" dowels 2" long, or plunge slots for #20 biscuits, where dimensioned on the appropriate drawing below. Just as for the mortises, the hole and slot locations will position the outside faces of the aprons Va" from the outside faces of the legs. NOTE: When using these options parts B/C need to be V/2" shorter in length.

OPTION 1 - POCKET SCREWS
