However I have to say that I think you'll find most of the Ikea-type
fittings to be not really appropriate, because they rely on holes being
drilled very accurately (position/diameter/depth etc) in the edges and
sides of the panels, which is hard to do unless you've got all the right
kit (drills/jigs etc).
On occasions when I've done my own 'flat-pack' style furniture I've used
wooden dowels, which is pretty straightforward if you have a little
cheapie jig which sits in the hole you've just drilled, and which marks
the position of the next hole using a drill with depth-stop - think I
got the drill and jog from B&Q.
Yup thanks, I did wonder about the accuracy required. I'll probably use
the dowell approach. But it's basic things like how to cleanly cut the
panels. I have a jigsaw, which is probably not the correct tool. So I
guessed I would need a saw bench or pull mitre saw of some kind.
