What’s the best way to attach brown bricks butt-end to butt-end (the ends opposite the studs) securely, using only brown pieces that are readily available (i.e. available in quanitity on Bricklink)?

The best solution I’ve come up with is to use these pieces periodically:



and then the two halves are secured together with some cross beams.

Any other ideas? The goal is to have a smooth surface on top, so the delicious technic plate (e.g. part 4263) mated to two 2x2 L-shaped plates (part 2420) won’t work as the technic plates have rounded edges. Technic pins leave little gaps, and 1x1 bricks with 3 studs aren’t produced in brown yet (are they?). Soooooo, let the brainstorming begin!

WHOOSH... this lower half just flew over my head. I’m not very clear on exactly what you want here. But I followed your question. Have you tried log (both 1 x 2 and 1 x 4) bricks with 2L technic rods shoved up and attached to each other backwards with studs on both sides? Hope that helps.
