[QUOTE="Spl170s, post: 6846581, member: 571699"] Sure covered before....but just want clear answers. I have built my own boxes and boxes for others over the years.... always use to use 1 5/8 coarse thread drywall screws with wood glue. Then started using liquid nails and the same kind of screws. always had to worry about splitting out wood even when predrilled and countersunk. Now, doing some reading getting back into box building, i see alot of people are just using brad nailers with wood glue. that would be a hell of a lot easier and less time consuming then all the drilling and such. i always assumed the screws kept everything together that much better...but that doesn't seem to be the case from what i read now.... thoughts? if going brad nailer....what size nails for 3/4 mdf recommended?
