MOTM

Just a note on glue: that polyurethane wood glue is really strong. It's
a bit messy to work with but that's glue for you....
It foams up and fills cracks really well.

For cabinets, there is always the glue and screw technique. You can even
recess the screw and get those plugs to cover up the heads.

Regards.

Yeah, plugs are another good way to go. You can buy a "plug cutter" for an
electric drill, and make them out of the same wood as the cabinet in order
to cover screw heads. If you're careful you can probably even match the
grain pretty well.

I'm not familiar with Polyurethane glue--I'll have to check it out. Thanks!

OK Cary and Ken.  Anybody who watches enough of NYW to know what a biscuit
is has got too many hobbies.   I think the guy doing my cabinet is going
for wooden dowels from the inside so they don't show on the outside.  But,
I am leaning that direction with just a plain butt joint.

Good thing I didn't mention rabbet and dado joints, mortise and tenon
joints, finger joints, or dovetails and jigs.....
