You glue OR you screw. Not both. If someone is making furniture today
that they intend to become an antique generations from now, and they are
using screws, then it's not an antique I want to look at.


That seems a bit, well, elitist.

I Disagree. I've see plenty of antique furniture that uses both
glue and screws, dating back well over 100 years. High quality
furniture.


Scott, I think you read to fast. :-)
I'm not talking about things that are already antiques.
Today's glue is light years ahead of the stuff form a century ago.
