You might try to do some assembly at a lower level to keep the piece count down.

I've been reaching above my pay grade ever since I started down this handtool path, but I've found that my skills, such as they are, get better when I push my personal envelope farther than I can comfortably get. Stretching out into new directions and pushing to pick up new skills is part of what makes this enjoyable for me. I appreciate the advice. Jeff

Yes, I use triangles for all panel glue-ups. For M&T, I’ve used letters, numbers, Roman numerals—and even my kids’ initials when I get bored with the other methods. I usually pencil them in, but I’ve also used a chisel to cut in Roman numerals.
Any sequence of distinguishable marks will do.

A sequence of indistinguishable marks can be more fun.  Or frustrating.
