Unfortunately it would be difficult to get a screw the right size to bite well enough to make a difference without going all of the way through the shelf surfaces. You'd have to drill holes all of the way through and use bolts/nuts/washers which might make it look ugly.
I used the L bracket method along with some automotive body molding mounting tape. With the tape alone I was unable to pull the tables back apart.
Edit: Figured I should give links to the tape and brackets I used.
Tape
Brackets
You can get either of them at pretty much any hardware store, or auto parts store. Although they will be a bit more expensive.
I'm in Houston (not in a flood area), so no water to worry about. I'm doing 24" on the bottom because I have one of these guys, and will probably get another soon.
Looks like I'll be spending about $15 on five sets of these brackets, so I think I'll skip the notching, though it looks like fun.
Thanks for the reply!
