And when I do Pocket screw I usually clamp the pieces before driving screws (screws can make the work wander). I dowel too but alignment can be a challenge. I look at Pocket screwing as a time saver. I use CA glue a lot but for a permanent bond I'll use tightbond with it. The CA glue allows instant bond and not having to wait for the Tight bond to set, especially if you spray one side with accelerator

Biscuits require another special tool don't they? I always use clamps because of my right hand being mostly crippled. The clamps act as another hand.
