Hi Everyone,
A friend of mine asked if I could help building a TV console similar to the pic below. He wants to use walnut plywood, but miter the corners to get a more seamless look. I am hesitant about miters that long. I'd also have put biscuits in there, but there isn't a lot of material to work with that that point and alignment would be critical. I am also worried that the weight of a TV would want to push the joint apart.
My suggestion would be to cut a 5/8" deep rabbet in the sides and treat like a but joint. There would be a very minor seam in my opinion, but you'd get added strength.
Is this doable? Is there a better way?
Thanks in advance!
Chris
