I've moved on from common adhesives and use a gel CA in all assemblies other than soldering. Seems to work equally well on wood, without the fear of warping from water or solvent based glues. The almost instantaneous set up lets me move on to the next stage without delay. Excess CA tends to remain on the wood surface where it can easily be scraped away, allowing stains to coat evenly. It might sound trivial, but one adhesive on the workbench sure cuts down on clutter.
Some carefully cut sheet brass, rivet embossed and bent to shape would probably make better looking corner brackets. The cast ones look 3 times too thick. Much like the side door hinges found in All Nation wood reefer kits....way too thick and oversized.
