Aren't the brads mostly there to hold the seam tight while the glue sets anyway? Once dry the glue will be a lot stronger than any brad.

Yes sir you win the cookie. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif The glued joint is actually stronger than the wood itself //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

+ if your friend isnt the smartest one, he shouldnt even notice the brad nails unless u told him cause they are pretty consealed

That WOULD be considered cheating...

hot glue impregnates the wood too and creates a super tight bond, stronger than wood.

Yes it does. But you also have to remember that the slow curing of urethane glues allow the glue to seep as deep as possible into the wood fibers and grab hold. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Took me quite a while to build mine, but then again I didnt have to even break out the sander or anything. Tripple checked everything I did and made darn sure my cuts were gonna be straight on with guides. Even bought a new saw and new blades.
