I used the tapered connector in an unusual way. I recently constructed a built-in corner sitting area for a breakfast nook. After using the seat for a few months I noticed it would tilt forward if several people were sitting on it at the same time. The connector allowed me to attach the upper back of the seat to the wall in a non permanent yet secure way that solved teh tipping problem. I also bought the 4" connectors and plan to use those for some heavy mirror connections.

I used these tapered connectors to hang three cornices. I created a 1/4" set back to hold the female end. When hanging on the wall the connectors slid together easily for a secure connection.

I've found taper connectors to be an ideal knock-down assembly for connecting bed posts to bed rails. The tricky part of the installation process is mortising the female connectors into the bed rails at the required 5/8" width and 5/16" depth. To accomplish this, my approach was to rabbit a 1/2" wide x 5/16" deep channel into the rails using a standard router and a 1/2" rabbeting bit set which includes bushings for various depth settings from flush depth through the required 5/16" depth. The first rabbet should be made using the bushing for 1/16", and then continue the process increasing the bushing size by 1/16" increments until reaching the required 5/16" depth. Attempting to remove all of the 5/16" stock with one pass of the router will ultimately be a costly and time consuming mistake.
