re: More extreme cheapskate measures...

All thoughts and comments appreciated. The drawers for this job will be inset so the rails won’t take any load at all. I was a little concerned about the rails sagging under their own weight, but they are really rigid – but while the back is off I will take the opportunity to reinforce them from behind and add the corner blocks. I don’t want to get a phone call in 18 months time…
Moment, I have to admit that I never thought I’d be blogging an mdf build, but I am really beginning to feel that this job will be indistinguishable from a job made from higher priced materials. Tomorrow will be a big day, rearranging the shop and assembling the main carcase in preparation for hanging the doors. This puppy has to go up the stairs and be assembled in the room, so you can expect to see some biscuit jointing and cam and dowel action. Now for that beer, Cheers!
