Since I'm new here, I don't know if this has been proposed before. Is there any interest in a "small questions" thread? It would be useful for people like myself that have various woodworking and tool questions that aren't quite deserving of there own thread. I searched but couldn't locate an existing thread.
Anyway, here are my "small questions" at the moment!
1. I've built a number of cabinets (simple boxes) that are designed to stack 4 high (4 x 2' each = 8 feet high). Photo is at bottom of this post. What is the best way of attaching these cabinets side-to-side, as well as top-to-bottom? Of course I could use short wood screws, but I'm guessing those more experienced than myself have thought of a more elegant solution. I thought about using wood pegs in the vertical side panels for the top-to-bottom connections, but I'm worried about the holes for the dowels lining up exactly (and thus the fronts of the cabinets not lining up).
2. For a column of stacked cabinets (photo below), should each cabinet be attached to the wall? Or, if the cabinets are attached securely to each other (as discussed above), is it enough to attach only the top cabinet to the wall?
Thanks for reading my "small questions"! All advice is appreciated from this noob!
