Unless the pieces are already cut, what about M/T? You can manage that with
a basic tools and some patience. If there is a mirror involved, I think I'd
go that route.

Is a spline a safe way to join the corners? They're not at 45 degrees but
butted against each other. Any other alternatives? I wanted to stay away
from using L brackets, but that may be the only solution. I have very
basic
tools to match my basic skills.

Thanks.


splines should work fine. dowels would be easier and will work just as
good. you could also use lap joints and glue. skeez
