Routing the Half-lap Joints The half-lap joints are cut with a handheld router and a jig. You assemble the jig around the pieces to be joined. The jig needs to be reassembled for each cut. Assemble the legs, struts and jig by following these three steps (see photo and Drawing on previous page): 1. Place the strut face-down on the benchtop. Clamp jig rails against the edges so they're flush to the face that's down. These are "backup" rails, because they prevent splintering at the strut's edges. 2. Turn the piece over and align a rail on the shoulder line of the lap. Make sure the leg, when set against this rail, will arc in the right direction. Screw this "guide" rail to the backup rails beneath it. 3.
