I've done a fair bit of timber framing and it's mostly nailing through the sole plate. And they Remember, you will have 4 walls and a roof (preferably a trussed roof) which, once all nailed together, adds a lot of strength.
Use temporary braces to hold things vertical and upright until all the bits are in place.
That's a good point about it all locking together at some point. What section timber would you say is adequate for the wall frames? Rough dimensions are 2x3x2 metres.
