    Question Mortise and tenons on cot

    I'm close to finishing a design for a cot (which I hope conforms to AS/NZS 2172:2010) and would like some advice on the mortise and tenon joints on the main frame. I've learned a lot from other queries on the forums, so hope I am not too far off, but would be grateful for advice on anything I've overlooked.

    The uprights are 75 x 40, the rails 75 x 30 and 70 x 35. All mortise and tenons are 12mm. Tenons on the longer rails are 40mm, on the shorter 26mm. The top rails are slightly offset, but otherwise the joints are identical.

    Pictures attached - all advice welcome! Three weeks 'til the occupant arrives, although he'll be in a bassinet for a while.

    Cheers,

    Will

    Ah, if I could do work like yours, I probably wouldn't need the pretty pictures.
