try banging on the side wall and shelf with a hammer, think you will find the confermated shelf will win out over dadoed. but hopefully your customers wont be doing that. point being both methods work great, confermat will save time though. time = $

Huh  ?
My shelves, glued into dado's and screwed through the side wall wiggling loose Nah, I ain't buying it. I have had reason to attempt to disassemble more than one and I'm here to tell you that the best answer when that occurs is to build a new cabinet. I'll stick with the dado's.

what are you talking about? you just said you put a screw through the dado, of course its not going to move, thats the point! use a confermat skip the dado and glue get the same result. thats why its the AWI standard.

johnch, excuse my ignorance, but what is a "confermat". I've been following this post and haven't been able to figure out what it is. Please enlighten me.
Thanks, Rich

Thanks for the link Rob. I guess I have seen them before on KD furniture but didn't know the name of them. I will have to keep them in mind on future projects.

Keep in mind that anything found in the AWI Standard is only included to identify the least acceptable process.
Also, keep in mind that on a glued and screwed joint, the screws are merely acting as disposable clamps to secure the joint until the glue cures.
I will stick with the dado.
