: I've been staggering my way thru this same question.
: Why not build a test sample. A section of frame, a 3/4 square
: stringer ~ 2.5ft long. make up the joint you like best and one
: that someone else likes. Clamp the frame to a table leg, add
: weight to the stringer until it or the joint breaks. Beef up the
: joint until the stringer breaks in additional tests.
: Now you have as much strength as you can ever use.
: Publish so we all know.

Have to remember with a SOF the skin once shrunk holds the frame together, captures the joints.
