The photo is a table we saw in a restaurant. I am making one like it. The challenge is attaching the angle braces to the flat surfaces. All told there are ten braces. Would just glue hold? I could drive pegs or screws through the angled ends, but prefer a cleaner look.
Thanks for your thoughts.
I wouldn't trust those areas to glue alone. They are begging for mortise and tenon. Just think of the racking forces on those spots every time someone stands up from the table and uses it as a brace or whatever.
Thank you for helping me think this through. I ended up using screws from underneath and a biscuit joiner where the angle abuts the table leg. Cut 40 degrees in the endgrain of the angle. It works.
