Wooden nails for nail guns!

When using Lignoloc you could glue stuff but you could also do without and that also counts for the clamping it seems (!?!??).

I would still use glue 🙂 This new process has some similarity to rivetting. Probably glueless assembly will result. Meaning grooved joint corners for airtight corners.

I think it is a great option mostly because I would be able to glue then clamp it all together, and the following day being able to use the round over bit on my router without worrying about breaking the bit.

Also: increasing strength of joints without relying on dowels or fancy woodworking techniques that I do not possess or have the luxury of time to master.

FYI, wood glued - hide, fish, PVA - are all stronger in sheer than wood. If you glue, and clamp, you can round over to your heart's content without needing mechanical fasteners, whether metal or wood. Just sayin' ...

@prairieboy The difference being I have limited space and amount of large clamps get worrying fast when making 200 liter ++ boxes, it can be really hard to get everything 100% properly aligned, would be really nice to get the parts aligned when glued shoot a couple of almost invisible nails then connect the next segment and so on.
For small boxes I do not have any problem with what you are saying.

@ICG That seems cheap if it allows me to do everything myself rather than pleading for goodwill from my better half, she will gladly help but she has smaller capacity for understanding of how various things should be assembled.

A fascinating development - I had come across friction welding wood in the past - but very few applications in building boxes using our common sheet materials. A biscuit jointer is about as technological as I ever get with my boxes!
(With the exception of my latest birch ply skinned honeycomb enclosure walls...).
