Advice? How to reinforce miters on a credenza carcass with limited tools? (lemmy.ca)

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.

The joint doesn't need reinforcement and is actually probably stronger with just glue alone.
