I have been doing a lot of reading before starting to do my first build. It has been difficult as the kit is waiting in the box with all the required tools (I hope) sitting right next to the big box. I want to get all the knowledge I can before I tackle this. The last thing I think that I have to set straight before I start is the use of pins and T-pins. Should I only use them pinned down on the plans at the edges of the pieces I need to keep in place, or occasionally they need to go through the actual wood? When using them only at the sides of the piece, should I angle them, or should I pin them perpendicular to the building surface? What other uses should I give t-pins in the building process?

The other question I have regards an issue that arises from using Titebond instead of CA for gluing. How to clamp the pieces to get a solid flush bond when gluing these types of joints:
