How do i into Paulk style torsion box without pocket holes?
Bottom and sides would be just butt jointed together, but how to attach the top without screwheads in the work surface?

Would using an aditional strip of wood like this with screws from the side and below be a viable option?
Would increase the glue surface for the top too

Rout a 5mm channel all the way round on the insides of all the sides (starting 5mm down from top)... rout a 5mm lip on the top board that sits 5mm below the top surface.
This will mechanicly hold the top and when glued it will be SOLID with so much toung n groov glue area.

Dowels/glue? Realistically, that's probably going to be the easiest option.
