Would you trust this wood joint?

Biscuit joint would be best or even a dado joining if you dont have a biscuit cutter.

Dado joining = more glue area...

Edit, If they are end pieces dado or biscuit. If it is long edges, biscuit.

that looks like it would work great with MDF... and you can throw a few of screws thru it to hold it togehter a bit too.

this is a biscuit joint (id make the 'biscuit' larger tho)

or you can do a tongue and groove (just get the router bits)

here is a bridle joint - pretty similar, but bigger tongue and groove. not sure how well it would work with MDF tho.

the bottom joint would be the best joint, and can be cut with a table saw, im not to sure a circular saw would work

thats a rabbet joint heres a dado

Just do it the way you first posted and use titebond wood glue, it will be fine.

Sorry, I did mean rabbit. Not dado. You're right...

it looks to me like the joint would definetly be very strong pending on where you are using it. where is it going?

Well it was going to be used in my box construction, but i changed my mind and now will be doing a MDF/FG hybrid that will work just as well.
