Warning: I once mocked biscuit joiners, but now I rely on them for lining things up
I used to think biscuits were a lazy trick for cabinet work. After messing up a few face frames by hand, I tried a biscuit joiner and it saved me so much hassle. What old school method did you give up on for something faster?

I was the same with pocket holes, swore they were cheating. Now I plan whole projects around them because they're just so fast.

Used to scoff at pocket holes, thought they were for hacks. Then I built a shed full of shelves and needed speed. Drilled a hundred holes in an afternoon, assembly was a breeze. Now I reach for the jig anytime I need strong, hidden joints fast. They're not pretty, but they get the job done when time matters. What's the biggest project you've used them on?

Pocket holes felt like cheating, @blake_martinez18, but now I'm all in.
