    I'd use a compound mitre saw to make all three pieces locking 45 angles, then use big corner brackets and 3 1/2" screws.
    What are these mojavas I keep hearing so much about?

    Quick and dirty but functional is drilling pilot holes through the brace and lumber. ream out hole in metal brace to just shy of screw head size. Two 3" screws and you done!

    any of those suggestions will work. I suggest adding wood glue to the joints also. It will make a huge difference and take out any wiggle you may have.
