Best way to do end to end joints in 4 x 2 ? In other words to make 2 x
2.4's into a 4.8 ish length.

I was thinking either lap joint & glue & bolts or those spiky washer
things - joint doesn't have to be in line, just resist deflection. Timber
on edge.


Drill two 12" holes down each piece and Araldite two pieces of 24" D12
reinforcing steel into the holes.
