How can I cover gaps?

ChadTower:


If he went with mitered cuts instead of filled gaps in the joints like that, he wouldn't need to bother with an internal frame, yes?

His picture is exaggerated to better clarify the areas he is asking about.

ChadTower:


I do understand that.  In the picture they don't even touch.  If he were building that we should just let him do it and then laugh when it fell down.

Use Bondo to fill the gaps and sand it down.  Then refill if needed with more bondo.  I used this on Dad's Bartop.  I started off with a sharp corner and then using a belt sander going the length of the board rounded it over.  Then I followed up with a random orbit sander.  See the before and after pics below.
