The sides are raised panels,floating, and the rails and stiles are glued with pocket hole screws. The panels are also bookmatched. I use powder glue,Weldwood, since it is very strong.
That's really nice. Dick makes all the furniture for my home, it is not as fancy as what you make but it is very sturdy and useable. I'm not a fancy person so I love his work. :gar-Bi
