I'm just starting to build a TV stand. It is oak plywood and real oak for the face frame, drawers and the top will have a 1" wide band of oak on the perimeter. My plan was to attach them with a couple of biscuits to help hold them in place and just glue and clamp. There is no stress or weight on the edges when in use.
A few weeks ago Norm was adding edge to plywood but he cut a groove in the wood and tongue in the plywood. I realize this is stronger, but is it needed in a place that just stationary? Table top, chest lid, I'd do it; but here can I pass?,
