Thank you all for the nice comments ! I'd like to get the kids in the shop more as they grow older at least  until they discover boys!!!!!!

Hi Awsum55. I like dowels and use them rather than mortise and tenon joints. They locate well and on projects requiring strength, they make it strong in that area. Which Alex uses dowels a lot?
