You don't need a "second safety precaution". The nails will only add unnecessary weight. You won't get a stronger joint than a 100% good glue joint. I have unfortunately seen several KR's that have crashed and they don't come apart at the glue joints. The wood structure itself will fail before the glue joints come apart. Don't second guess the current plans. You don't need a better mouse trap. Larry Flesner
