You can make any box without screws. Just use clamps to set the wood while it cures. Any strong wood glue will work.

As for the original question???????

titebond 2

titebond III here, with 1 1/2" brads...for most daily drivers....

otherwise, 1 5/8" #6 wood screws for the big hammers....

while the glue is the strength, i won't ever completely rely on it. i will always use some type of fastner.

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/peace.gif.2db28b618ed8d1964ebbe2f5021d2c39.gif

I'm a firm believer in gorrila glue myself ( I find the purple sexy //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif ) //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I used to, but I got sick of it foaming...

 

[mrray13 10+ year member]

i've thought about using it (gorilla glue), but since it's an expanding glue, i wasn't for sure if it is truley suitable...

i will try it though

Ive used gorrila glue before, but as others said, the foaming and expanding gets annoying. Next box i build i plan on using titebond II

Good solid clamping of the joints . //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

... I think I'll do a head to head of wood glues...

Sounds good , the only problem I see. With good glue, straight cuts, and proper assembly 99.99% of the time the wood (mdf) breaks before the glued joint seperates or breaks. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I'm also just an old obstinate fart who doesn't like change either. If it ain't broke don't fix it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
