EDIT: I realize now the definition "wood plug" is not correct. I still have no idea what's the english word. But here they are:

You make corresponding holes in two wood panels, put the little wood cylinder in between and this way the panels are stuck in places while the glue dries.

I'll keep all this in mind. I never used braces tho. And the plywood thickness was chosen mostly due to ease of construction. It's harder to mess up routing if you have to "dive" deeper to do so

Thanks for all the feedback. I don't know when i will have time to build something again but when that will happen, i'll make treasure of this info

In English those are called dowels, or for the specific type shown in your picture "Fluted Dowels."

Many now use biscuits in much the same manner.

Well thanks a lot to both. I'm sorry if the discussion strayed a bit from the OP original intent. I'm trying to learn as much as possible and i only have this precious forum as a source.

I don't have a very very strong scientific background and i wouldn't know where to start to find answers to these questions so it comes natural to post them here (i'm referring to the damping materials questions of a couple of posts ago), but i can understand these may sound really stupid to an adept. I know the feeling when the same happens in IT/Technology circles

Always a worthwhile endeavor.

More in depth information on the particular box building philosophy alluded to in many posts was discussed "vigorisly" in the following thread. A good read for one wanting to stretch a bit.
