got a pair of bookcases/ display cases now hanging and have got to
put the face frame round to abut the wall, and cover the mdf faces.
thinking about making them about 60mm on either side, and also the
centre stile. the alcove is 1200 wide. the cabinets are about 1100 high.
the top face frame will be about 100mm deep, and there will be a kind of
pelmet at the bottom which will be about the same depth, mainly to hide
a light for the computer table underneath.
18mm oak not really a problem.
but i then think about the doors. do i make 2 or 4 for the 2 cabinets?
and if so, since they will be wood with glass inserts, how wide should the
wooden frame be for both aesthetics and strength??
they too will be 18 mm oak frames.
