I have a woodworking project on hold because I can't decide how to do the joins.

There are myriad ways to do woodworking joinery, and entire books on it:

Note that modern adhesives (esp. if coupled with the judicious use of a bit of hardware) are quite strong/lasting so long as they are appropriate to the purpose.

Just making a couple as a test/prototype will go a long way towards building skill and confidence.

Prototyping is helpful, you can try out a single join in various ways and compare what you’re reasonably able to execute.
