Well, I'm almost ready to build some much needed cabinets for the shop. I've never built any kind of cabinet before, so this will be a learning experience. I bought one of Danny Proulx's books and found some designs that I like.
And now come the questions:
- He made his out of 5/8" melamine, but I'm limited to 3/4". (I'll buy the stuff using a bunch of accumulated Borg gift cards, that's why!) Will 3/4" be sturdy enough?
- I might go with MDF instead of melamine, just for the base cabinets, because of their extra weight. Plywood is porbably not an option, because the good stuff is out of my price range.
- What's the best way to join MDF or melamine? Dados & glue? Biscuits & glue? Pocket Screws (with or without glue)? Confirmat screws? Something else?
Thanks!
