Whatever works for you. A couple of dowel centers is all the jig you would need to use dowels in this application. Rockler has a set of 8 for less than $7.00. But there is nothing wrong with the sliding dovetails if you are set up to cut them accu...

I talked to a guy at work who's done something similar before and he thought I should give it a bigger base, so I went to a 3x3 that tapers up to the 1.5x1.5 quickly. I don't have a dowling jig, so will do either dovetail or mortise and tenon.

So, do you think a pocket hole would have the strength in place of the dovetails here, or would I need to go to them to prevent the wood being pulled apart?

Pocket hole of wooder larger than 1 1/2 inches

From what I have read on the Kreg site the jigs centre the screw in wood up to 1 1/2 inches. I like to use pocket holes on timber larger than this. Is it possible to create affective pocket holes for larger timber for a stick frame shed? So a 2 in...
