Hi,
I have been a lurker here for quite some time, but as a newb I haven't really contributed, just gathered plenty of intel to help make some projects for my family and not injure myself
Since this is my first post, a brief into: I am a SW engineer and have 2 small children so shop time is rare. That being said, I take pride in DIY rather than paying what amounts to usually less money for inferior product and design. I enjoy browsing the forums - especially the projects and design forums for ideas, and hope to be able to get some help, and perhaps contribute when appropriate.
That being said, I'm in a little bit of a quandry for my latest project:
I'd like to build this entertainment center that's in Woodsmith 169.

Except I plan on using QSWO and doing it in a mission style, and covering up the shelving etc. I really like the look of this piece but I am a little stumped on one aspect.

The Legs run the whole face of the cabinet which seems to create a faux panel on the side. I am wondering how this was done?? All I can come up with is the legs are part of the base assembly and are rabbeted to accept the carcass. This would leave the 3/4 reveal on the front and side, and then a 3/4 face frame on the carcass makes for a flat look on the front of the cabinet.
Am I reading this correctly? I'm sorry it's hard to explain without a diagram. Opinions please.
Thanks!
Chris
