I used to use screws for that purpose in the past, but, when turning a screw
in the wood the wood sometimes went out of place a millimeter or a bit more
or less. To keep the wooden sides of my rockerbox and mirrorbox at their
right place, I used small nails, following Kriege/Berry's advice. I pulled
the nails out after the glue cured.
