Hi,
SWMBO would like the boiler boxed. I was going to use four squares of faced chipboard: one down either side, one across the front, and one across the top. I did wonder about hinging the front to allow easy access to the boiler but then I thought KISS and if the boiler ever needs attention, we could just dismantle the box.
SWMBO had pointed out a design flaw, which is that with a rectangular box the corner sticks out and is likely to impale people. She would like the corner mitred to 45 degrees. So rather than have the front and side panels touching, I would need to put a thin strip between them, like this: | | | | | | / / /
-------------------
Is this what you would do, or is there an even better way that I have not thought of?
If you would do this, how would you join these three pieces? I only know how to join things at right angles! The only way I can think of a
45 degree join would be to use hinges, or is that cheating?Thanks.
