I posted this on Reddit awhile back when I finished the build.. but thought I would share on here in an effort to get to know people! Hope that's allowed.

Mitered joints with biscuits.

Here's a close up:

Looks awesome, are the biscuits aligned vertically inside the miter or perpendicular to the mitered faces? I am thinking about making something like this and trying to think through the joinery.

Perpendicular to the miter.

Feel free to ping me if you have any questions. The mitered joints was.theost difficult part of the build. It helps to build a jig so you can get a real good clamp on there.

Thanks! I feel like I've been overthinking the design, wondering if maybe I need dowels or hidden screws or something. I love the look of this.
