You will probably be fine using glue or screws and glue but its not for me in most cases.

A proper glue joint is probably stronger than screws. (At least it is on wood. I'm not sure about MDF.)

Yes I know it is. I just don't like using glue for the reasons I mentioned. If a part was under that much stress/strain that It could possibly break the screws then I would use another method completely.
Would glue + batons hold a 45kg monitor? More than likely, yes. Would I use glue and batons? I'll leave you to answer that one.

:applaud: Yes welcome to the forum Plasma. As you can see everyone is very helpful and willing to give great tips.
And congrats on having such a cool Mom. Not only does she help with the build but she even let you put it on top of one of her tables. Careful not to scratch up the merchandise or she'll :angry: to you and your project.
:cheers:

Welcome! Don't worry about making mistakes or asking dumb questions. If there is anything I've learned since I started my 1st cab in June, it's these guys will almost always point you in the right direction or give out plenty of constructive criticism.

The name's Brian. Im a long time lurker, first time poster. Yes, my first post is about my first project.
Anyways, you may have already heard of me and not even know it. I made the Emergency Party Button and the Blender Defender. Two very popular projects that have been making a few waves out there on the net. Check it out if ya want. ( http://www.plasma2002.com/epb and http://www.plasma2002.com/blenderdefender )

cool, good to have your project on here. Your Emergency party button is cool, Holy intricate project, but must be very cool to press. Reminds me of my aunt that likes to snoop in peoples medicine cabinets, prior to her coming over one year i put 77 golf balls carefully inside the cabinet, ready to fall upon opening. She was in there within 30 mins during a visit for a family get together, used the restroom and all we heard was a loud series of clinks and clanks, followed by a rather blushing aunt Kathy coming out of the bathroom asking if we had any aspirin (yah right, whatever). I clued everyone else in on the prank, worked like a charm, she doesn't come over much these days, but taught here a lesson she'll never forget. lol :laugh2:
project is sure to be great, if you can make those other things, this will be fine, and as far as the woodworking, i didn't know anything either when i first started, you'll pick it up (measure at least twice and cut once).., thanks for sharing, can't get enough pictures round here.
take it easy...
