2nd floor Posted April 19, 2020 Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 Saw this joint and would like to use it on an upcoming on g project. The 3 legs are extended through the joint. What is this joint called and better yet, how is it made? its the tenon on the outside of the leg that has me baffled. thanks in advance Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted April 19, 2020 Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 Chances are that at least one of the extended rails is totally fake. This video illustrates the interior of a similar joint, but without the extensions. @rodger., another forum member, made a table base with a three-way X-brace leg system a while back. I don't recall the project title to search by, but the joint should be very similar to what you want. Perhaps he will pop in and point you in the proper direction.

2nd floor Posted April 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 That’s what I have come up with. Did a quick mockup that looks fine, but had to cut the third leg in 2 to get it in. Should be fine as is is for looks only. Now to tune the setup to tighten the gaps thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodger. Posted April 19, 2020 Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 Here is the thread/journal for the "x-table" build. I still have the scale model if you would like photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2nd floor Posted April 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 Thank you, I am pointed in a viable direction at this point. We will see how it comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
