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.
