Another build thread? Yep, my track-style T

Thank you all.

Yes, guilty as charged! I did teach woodworking for a while. Now I teach Construction, so I still have access to the machines. No, Steve, I didn't use any tongue & groove joints; the multiple angle miters just about taxed my abilities to the limit. What looks like dowels in the pictures are actually the counterbore holes for the 2 1/2 inch drywall screws. All joints are glued and screwed.

When I started woodworking the New Yankee workshop was just getting popular on PBS. Norm was using a biscuit joiner to do most of his projects back then. So I went the biscuit joiner route for most stuff too, instead of tongue and groove. I had to break a joint I'd made in a simple pine dinner table. It was so strong I had to cut it off! Groove or no grove there are going to be a few tongues hanging out when you are done!
