If you have a nailgun I would use that with glue. If you ate painting it then you can use screws glue and putty. They make a nice finish head screw that sinks well and leaves a much smaller hole.

I agree. A good nail gun makes the job lots easier and the resulting hole is easy to fill and finish. I now use my nail gun for everything.

I very recently purchased a Paslode nail gun. I wish I had bought it before I made my stand.

dowels & biscuits!! Make it really clean

Actually that's way more work than it's worth
I've always been a screw fan over a nailer since unscrewing a mistake is usually easier than ripping apart a nailed component.
