Reply to comment by Bui1ding in Simplest/cheapest way to attack two pieces wood together at a right angle by Bui1ding

With nails depends on the size of the nail and the type of wood, the size of the piece of wood for whether it splits usually.

If you use screws, pre drill the holes again to reduce chance of splitting.

I am not a woodworker, this is just my experience with this

Yeah, I think going across the wood with the nails I have, plus into the smaller cube pieces would probably not be ideal for them, but I don't know. Yeah I just have to weigh up the costs and effort of doing that + buying the long screws vs buying some brackets and using screws I already have.

Yeah, I don't have much better suggestions. Maybe wood glue with smaller nails? I wish you luck and hope you get more answers
