   *I use a lot of kd assembly, essentially on stuff so big you can't lift it. My choice of fastener is the machine screw (1/4-20, 5/16-18 and 3/8-16) and steel cross dowels plus a joint. Might be T&G, sliding dovetail, mortice and tenon and others. Have the assembly and method of locating dowel center intersect in router jigs book.

   *Hey thanks for the replys! The FWW joinery book has some great methods to start playing with. Any ideas on a tapered sliding dovetail going across the grain(regarding wood movement and fastening?

   *Outwater Plastics Co. somewhere in New Jersey has a tremendous variety of K.D. hardware and put out one heckuva catalogue. You should be able to get their WATS line number from 800 info. (1-800-555-1212).

   *Tapered, sliding dovetails are supposed to run across the grain......... You should have no problem. Think of a shelf being fitted to a case side.
