Hi all, I am trying to build an entertaiment center; I have included a picture of my design, because this thing is so big 103" long by 93" high, I am building it by sections, the only section left is the top middle piece. this section is 60" wide and as I am about to glue it I notice that the span is shuch that more thsn likely it will sag.
Q: what can I do so that this section will not sag, whithout putting some sort of horrible cross section that will be too obvious?
Or once I attach the frame to it (frame attch using pocket screws) this will prevent from saging?
I am also planing to attach the entire cabinet to the wall, and the sides to the other parts of the cabinet is this enough?
the frame is 2" wide.
last question has to do with staining the cabinet doors, I am planing on using a spry gun for the first time and I would like to know how to handle the doors so that I don't have any runs, do you hang the doors to be painted or do you lay it flat and paint one side at a time?
Note I am using pecan, probably not the easies wood to work with, it is hard, heavy so I am worried. I am planing to put a center speaker in the top section about 27lb.
Any help you would be greatly appreciated.
