Anyone interested in 83 Pace Arrow Tear down and Rebuild?

I had to make a bunch of frames similar to that and found a half-lap joint to work well. If you set up your table saw, you can cut a bunch of them very quickly, in one operation. Run the piece through a number of times, nibbling away the material so the depth and length of the lap are the same on each. A bandsaw works too but requires two set-ups. Assembly with glue and a couple of small brads, and the wood will bust before the joint.
