Just a follow up to say the spline idea worked wonders to hold the joints together!



You can see the finished dining room here: Have had several people over for dinner for testing.. the largest being well over 300lbs and they held up. And are quite comfortable.

That's one nice dining set you have there :-) and it goes well with the room - for my taste.
