re: gluing end grain

Thanks. I’ve been thinking about it since posting and that is more or less what I plan to do. What you’ve shown is more or less what I’ve cut so far except the pieces are not full pie shapes so there is a hole in the middle. That’s my usual non planning layout. LOL. So regardless I will need the bottom piece anyway just to hold the socket. I also plan to make some legs to go underneath. They will cross the joints so that will be some more protection. Im also thinking about cutting a groove into the front and back and making my own biscuits. That could end up being a nice color contrast too. Lots of things riling around my head at the moment including leaving work early. ;-)
