looks are the last thing on my mind, I don't care at all when it comes to caging lol, I figured someone could just use some pine wood filler over the screws on the front if they wanted. and the reason for all the screws...ever deal with home depot wood before? its never flat lol. its just how i build things, im sure you could use half the screws as is and be fine.
i've never seen the kreg jig before, im sure you could find an application for it building cages, actually I can already picture how to do it in my head, heck maybe ill get one for other projects. im sure you could use it when you build your cages and make wifey happy.
their commercial is a little hyped up but all infomercials are. i like the reenactments of gluing the wood together. also there nothing special about their screws, you can buy them at any hardware store. and it doesn't completely replace dowels and biscuits, but does for alot of things
thx for the link tho
