I do not know if I will be able to use wooden pegs, but certainly shall
try. What I am more concerned with is the type of joints to use. Are all
of the boxes to just be butt joints (ie flat long grain to flat short
grain?) or am I able to use such things as finger joints? What type of
fastener to keep them closed? What type of handles? Most importantly,
where can I look for this information?

I unfortunately have not decided beyond early period yet. *sigh* Yes, I
realize this is a very broad spectrum, but until I have worked it out in
my head, I don't want to decide on anything. Unfortunately, I will need
boxes long before me and my lady have finalized times and places of our
existance.
