Building a credenza with 3/4” plywood. Using miter joints on the carcass to avoid showing the plywood “end grain”. How can I reinforce those joints? The pros are using festool domino. I have a handheld drill and a handheld router. Can I do a dowel joint? I don’t know how to do that on a miter.
If you're set on using a miter joint, you could do a splined miter. This is a miter with a captured spline to add rigidity and strength of the long grain glued connection as opposed to the splines going across the outside of the miter. This excerpt from Woodcraft shows the type of spline I mean, it's something you should be able to achieve with a saw or small enough router bit, but make sure you have a fence setup with that to keep it stable and you safe during the cut.
I’m working with only hand tools at the moment and also interested in the green wood work, with axes and such, and restoration of hand tools. I have the book Wood by Eric Meier, which is great so far for wood properties and identification....
Technically not a single narrative, but the Mortise and Tenon magazine's first three issues are bundled into a single binding. I didn't subscribe to the magazine until much later, but I've enjoyed every article I've read so far over the last couple years. Green work is somewhat common in later issues, but may not feature as prominently in the first three issues as I thought at first.

Anyone have book recommendations for woodworking?

If you could place any object on the surface of Mars, purely to confuse NASA scientists, what would it be?
For me i would just place like random paintings, like NASA would be very confused on why Mars would have paintings lmao.
