Has anyone had any experience using metal leg braces to attach the apron to the leg. Nothing beats a solid mortise and tenon for this purpose however when its time to move a large table I find it helps to be able to knock down the legs. Lee Valley sells these brackets in sets but does not provide instruction.

Pretty much an industry standard for attaching table legs for many, many years. Looks like instructions to me. They work great. Shop made wooden ones work just as well. It's pretty much intuitive. Most manufactured tables use the metal bracket.
