Solution

'Pologies, readers; I had no intention of leaving you on tenterhooks so long. If you were.

I'd never even thought of triangular joints, and now I have I know I don't want to try them. Not that I've made progress beyond this practice joint to the project I have in mind for them since Tuesday, but at least I know I can kinda of make one now. As long as looks aren't too important, at any rate....
