Just revisiting this image - could be a chair/table leg joint?
It involves 24 holes accurately positioned and 12 dowels to fill them. Same joint with M&Ts involves 2 holes only and no dowels or loose tenons at all, though you do have to shape 2.

Hi

It involves 24 holes accurately positioned and 12 dowels to fill them. Same joint with M&Ts involves 2 holes only and no dowels or loose tenons at all, though you do have to shape 2.

It is not difficult to accurately position those holes using a Dowelmax, you will get issues if the workpiece is more square than rectangular because the holes can meet. If I had the skills/confidence then the good old M&T would be my choice for this type of joint but for now I am using dowels and also Dominos, but hopefully honing other skills in the time that should now be freed up.
