ATTN: Woodworkers - How do I make a butt joint perfectly flush?
Santoro:
I think a pocket hole jig would fit the bill nicely.

Lilwolf:
I got a pocket jig and haven't had time to perfect it...
but my first few tried I didn't get a perfect edge. I keep planning on trying again. Wood scrap is a necessity for getting things like this perfect.
mccoy178:
I love my pocket jig. I have made many a thing out of oak with it. You would have to use some fairly short screws in that corner though.
Avery:
I would do something like Sir Ponga suggests, only I'd use two rectangular pieces of plywood to act as supports. Set one piece and the two support blocks on edge so it looks like the greek letter pi, clamp that together, rotate 90 degrees and clamp your other piece to the front. Your work surface should force them to be just about flush.
Just make sure not to overglue or you'll never get your supports back out.
Santoro:
Are using the special screws?
