All,
I am working on a walnut shoe rack, and I have a side frame with mitered half laps on the corners. I need to put a stretcher inside the frame at about a 35 degree angle (referencing the horizontal) to support the stretchers that make up the "shelves" for the shoes.
I think this could be completed by cutting half laps (cross joint?) in the left and right vertical sections of the frame, in the correct locations, thus nesting the stretcher inside the frame at an angle.
My question is, what is the best way to cut the half laps in the middle of those pieces, in the correct location, and at the correct angle?
Thanks for looking, I'm excited to begin contributing to this community!
Cheers.
