2/16 = 1/8
Just thought i would point that out for absolutely no reason.
wasted incorporated
1. Use Titebond for glue. Only difference in I, II, and III is the level of water resistance, which, in this case, shouldn't matter.
2. If using screws, ALWAYS predrill. Countersink recommended, but optional.
3. Use as many clamps as possible.
4. Use a speed square, combination square, framer's square, etc, to get your plates square.
5. When making cuts, remember to take blade thickness into account. Typically, it is 1/8" (.125").
Will add more later.

Best tip I can give is if you have the room and cash invest in a tablesaw with a tilting blade, I hate trying to cut 45's with a skill saw lol.
Titebond II is what I always use for glue, Dap sillicone window caulk works good for sealant, resin is even better, use corse threaded screws not fine thread.
I would be a procrastinator, but I keep putting it off.
