I'm building a 12' x 28" x 1-1/4" solid wood desktop that will rest on 42" wide base cabinets at both ends. I was going to screw up through corner braces into the top, without glue to allow for some movement. Is there special corner brace hardware that would work better than wood corner bracing? Should I be attaching somewhere other than through the corner bracing? The base cabinets will have drawers, I'm envisioning difficulties accessing the rear corner braces through the face frame door rails.
How do you guys do this?
