This technique could also be used with biscuits instead
of pocket holes, if you prefer. In that case, the construction
order would have to change. First, fasten the top and
bottom rails to the plywood panel using biscuits. Next,
fasten the stiles to the sides of the panel and the ends
of the rails, again using biscuits.
If you happen to have a loose tenon system, then the
procedure should be similar to that of biscuits.
Is this fine furniture? No, certainly not. But it is
solid, it looks great, it should stand up to plenty
of use and abuse from my sons and last a good, long
time.
