Redleg, go get yourself a Kregg pocket hole jig. Best $40 I've ever spent.

I love my Kregg jig, but the fastener-less build is beautiful

Absolutely, the jointery appears to be top notch. I just like the Kregg for stand building because it's so much faster and I feel when you glue and screw you get a more solid joint.

I've got a kreg jig. I'm just a big fan of traditional joinery. I almost used mortise and tenon joints on this but decided to go a faster easier route. This still took me about 8 hours.

For anyone that's interested the frame is 34 1/2" wide, 29 1/4" deep,and 35 1/4" tall. The front and both ends will be sheathed in 3/4" material also putting 3/4 ply on top.

I am positive that could hold an elephant.
