    Thanks so much for all of the input! I did go with the pocket hole jig for now. I will eventually pickup the M&T option. I will be putting it to use this weekend, I hope, so we will see how things go.

    Again, thank so much for your time and input!

    I feel its like anything else, there is a time and place for each.
    If at first you don't succeed, look in the trash for the instructions.

    Nuff said! When the only tool you have is a hammer every problem looks like a nail.

    Yea, and there is a modular across the street from me that just sold for about $600K on a 1/2 acre lot. And the basement and second level are not even "finished".

    Shawn mentioned the Domino on the very first reply, but for a new woodworker, the Domino's $1000 entry point keeps it off the short list I think.

    By the way Per:
