Hi All,
Building my first project here:
Bench-tool System
Anyway, I'm having trouble planning how to edge frame the indivdual shelves that hold the tools. The plans do not depict this joint and I do not believe glue only will be sufficient. Basically, 3/4" MDF with 1x2" edging. The bench tools will put all the weight on the mdf and the sheer force on the joint is 100%. When put on the mobile base, no problem. The base has a top that will support the weight. When in the "rack" there is no support except on the edging.
My thoughts are to either create a rabbit and recess the mdf top in this rabbit or build the fram under the MDF top. Then the frame supports the tool and no shear glue joint.
I am missing someting here. Sorry for the "Stock" photos from on-line, I am on the road and can't stop thinking about this project and how to fix this issue.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
Jon
