Here is the progress thus far. I purchased 1" pocket screws but didn't get good results. I guess the 3/4 inch stock is too small for a good hold. I decided to glue the frames in place and attach with small brads. I will cover the brads as I go further. The results were very good. It sits in the corner now waiting for drawers and a top. Thanks to all for the suggestions.
I dunno which screws you used, but there are at least 3 different one's for 3/4 material. 1 1/4" fine, 1 1/4" coarse, and 1 1/4" pan head for plywood.
