Kreg Joints are awesome! I used one when I built a few cabinets for my highschool, makes things a hell of a lot easier

I started with front panel and back panel .

I sandwich the panels together .

I Located where i was going to brace ( 1 1/4 dowell rod) I drilled 1/16 bit thru both panels.

Now , I know where to use 1 1/4 forstner drill bit

I then counter sinked 1/4",, 1 1/4 hole diameter hole in front and back panels . The holes should be perfect in line for assmble

I also did the same for the top panel and bottm panel

Those Paslodes are pricey...I have a couple of the battery/gas powered framing guns and they're around $300-400 each.
