Wood joinery is a priced craft.
Traditionally, any carpenter will feel insulted if you say he nail up his work...
Deep inside, I too feel humiliated without implementing some sort of wood joints in my personal projects.
The RED & Blue are simple butt joints... I don't feel proud when I use them....
The Magenta & Cyan are tong & groove some call it tenon & mortise... this is the least I'll have in my personal projects.
Another modern woodworker's must have is PVA glue, commonly called wood glue or white glue. It is a water based glue that will not break before the wood fiber tears... great for indoor use.
A properly glued joint will take all the abuse you can throw at it before the wood itself give way...
SAY NO TO NAILS!
