I was thinking of making a frame which would fit around a box being glued, and with T-nuts and bolts on each of the four sides, would be used to compress the sides.
So the proposed frame would be subject to forces on each side forcing the sides out, so would need to be strong in all 4 directions. The problem is selecting suitable corner joints for the frame. Through or half blind dovetails would be unsuitable as they are only very strong in one direction. Mitred joints would be far too weak.
Can anyone please suggest a suitable joint for the frame?
