Thanks, Dave, that helped. The eye dropper really helps. I've seen you mention different best practices, such as the layering technique on my Dog Pen post. Is there a list of these practices somewhere or a tutorial of some sort. I've looked through Google's help site but it's not very in depth.

RE: Dog Pen
Yeah, I kept the joints simple. This was kind of a test project so I could try out a new pocket hole jig that my store started selling (I work at a hardware store). Plus, I knew I was going to have a very limited time to chop all the lumber for the product. So I tried to keep the amount of different lengths to a minimum. Btw, the pocket hole jig worked out great. They don't look like much, but those joints are actually pretty strong.
