You will hear voices out there who will tell you it’s wrong or improper or lowly to use metal fasteners rather than traditional joinery in furniture projects. Those voices are dumb and bad and wrong. Pocket screw joinery–done correctly–is strong enough for projects like this, inexpensive and easy to make, and accessible without a lot of tools. If it holds the project you want together what’s the problem?
Yea, well said. I have a tendency to never be satisfied with my work, but I try hard for it not to extend to my hobbies. I recently completed a dish cabinet, mostly using brackets (after a failed first try with glue and gudgeons!). Ultimately I am very happy with it, like you said, it does the job. Thanks for the wise words
