Joint Methods

Hi,

From watching the videos, I see that wood screws and dowels are being used when joining two panels at a right angle. What is the reason for this? Why not just wood screws?

Thanks.

Hi Sean:

The dowels give to the joints more strength and stability, but it will be ok without them anyway!
