RageQuitForLife Posted August 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 i understand that part, i'm just trying to give myself multiple options to choose from, but would doing the screw/brad nail thing work enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triticum Agricolam Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 If you aren't going to drill holes and do it right, you are wasting your time with dowels.

RageQuitForLife Posted August 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 dude, im really just asking for a yes or no answer if it will work or not. I'm most likely going to drill holes for them anyways, but i probably dont have a size bit for drilling it and have to budget that into this aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triticum Agricolam Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 No, using screws/brads/anything else won't work. The only thing that works is drilling holes and doing it right.

RageQuitForLife Posted August 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 so for using the dowels, do i only go part way through the MDF or do I go all the way through with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triticum Agricolam Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 All the way through.

3vil Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 You basically want the each end of the dowel flush with its respective face. Also, why are you using such a thin dowel for bracing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RageQuitForLife Posted August 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 1 1/4" seems like it would be enough, I guess I could bump it up, how wide of dowels should i be using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triticum Agricolam Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 1-1/4" is what I usually use, they should be fine.
