In the last issue, we asked you to weigh in on some woodworking choices along the lines of the “Would You Rather” game. Here’s one reader’s take on the subject. – Editor
“’Would I rather…?’ Depends upon the project I have and the time constraints. Attaching drawer corners, for example. If it’s just functional and needed in a limited time period, I might elect to glue or pin nail or both. If it’s a gift box for someone special, then I’ll probably join corners in a more attractive fashion: box joint, dovetail or some variation of miter. This rule of thumb tends to apply across the board for many of my projects — the key variables being the amount of time available to complete the project and the appearance quality desired in the final product.” – Ron Suchara
