  • What about strength of joint, which is stronger, the dowels or biscuits? Thanks for a great video.

  • @gbmmben It’s probably a toss up between the two, but if you use two or three dowels in the joint you’re probably creating greater cross sectional area than a biscuit would offer, making dowels slightly stronger.

  • Great video, and channel too. I want to star building my own furniture and with this and other tips found on the channel im very confident I can do that. One question tho, what joint would you use for dresser carcass and which one for drawers? I love dove tail for drawers but, are finger joints just as good too? Thanks

  • @ahernandez1080 Carcase joinery used for dresser cases or kitchen cabinets is typically dadoes and rabbets. Finger joints on drawers are fine, and very strong.

  • How about doweling pins? Of course a mortise&tenon, a biscuit or better yet a domino are better than dowels.

  • @Sodabowski Dowel pins are shown in the first section of the video. Thanks, George.

  • You're right, I missed it when first viewing it. Sorry about that.

  • @dealerpiper Pocket hole joints are great, and can also be used for leg to rail joinery on a table.  Keep in mind that they’re not as robust as a mortise and tenon, dowel, or biscuit joint, but they’re pretty strong.

  • What is your thoughts on pocket hole joints for that example
