Man that looks good... You've made me a believer in those pocket screws .. Bought me a starter kit and built a storage cubby with them.. Quick and secure.
They are really strong! It's like the difference in toe nailing a nail or driving it straight in. The angle gives it strength so giving a screw more strength really makes it a strong joint :)
On the Range I don't like using glue. It's not necessary and it makes it difficult to make changes if you want to. I only use glue where I cannot use a screw. Thanks
