Leg and Rail
24
Set-back Rail -
A rail that is set-back from the edge of the leg to highlight a reveal is a very
common way to dress up a table or chair and give the design depth and sophistication.
This set-back is very easy to achieve with pocket hole joinery.
Cut a piece of material to the thickness of
your desired set-back (1/4" plywood works
well). Secure the leg to a workbench with a
clamp. Butt the 1/4" plywood, or desired
material, up against the leg at the location to
be joined. Set the rail onto the plywood so it
is raised off the workbench, clamp if desired
and drive the screws.
Flush Rail -
This is the simplest form of a leg and rail connection where the rail is attached
perfectly flush to the edge of the leg.
Secure the leg to a flat workbench with a
clamp. Butt the rail up against the leg at the
location to be joined making sure the top
edge of the rail is flush with the top of the
leg. Clamp the rail to the workbench if
desired and drive the screws.
Gusset Supports -
A great way to add strength and square up a
corner.
On a typical table with a 2" square leg and a
1/4" set-back rail you will want to first create
6-8"
a right triangle gusset with a 6-8" hypotenuse.
Hypotenuse
Next cut a 1" by 1" square out of
the corner. Take the finished gusset and
place a pocket hole perpendicular to the
short legs of the right triangle so that the
screw will be driven directly into the rails
(make sure to check the amount of screw
penetration in a scrap workpiece before final assembly). You can also place a
pocket hole into the corner of the gusset with the Mini Kreg Jig® to further tie it
into the leg.
