Angled T-Bridle Joint Side Table | Woodworking

I made this side table to sit next to my couch. It uses an angled T-bridle join, something I haven't done before. A T bridle joint is essentially just a bridle joint, except it runs through the mating piece. This is usually a simple process with a table saw, but I don't have one, so I came up with a different solution using a bandsaw. The end result worked, here's how I did it.

Lovely Robin and the fatter rail looks fine. You've got a real designer corner going on in the living room now!

[@RobinLewisMakes]

Thanks James. Yeah, I'm going to need to build a new room soon to fit it all in haha

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Ah very clever. Raising the end of the board up to cut the last of the joint on the band saw was a stroke of brilliance. 👍👍👍

Thanks Kuffy

Nice table and some handy hints, thanks. Interesting also to use multiples of 13 just as a design constraint. Watching you mark out those bridle joints, I reckon you would find a mortise gauge very helpful - once set all measurements marked are consistent. Also look at getting a cutting gauge as it creates a "V" in the timber where it's much easier to align your chisel. Cheers, David
