This is a (very) preliminary design fro a "bridge" to join two bookcase uni ts I built. The bottom of this unit will be seen; the top and sides will no t. It would be approximately 48" x 23" x 12" deep.
The bottom drawing shows the face frame as it would be seen; the top drawin g is the plywood cabinet that would go behind it. I'm wondering if ...
- The dado layout shown is sensible.
- The dado layout shown will prove too complex for me to glue up properly in the allotted time.
Regarding (2.), I have made another diagram the shows the order I think I w ould need to glue up the pieces in:
First the 4 Red pieces Then the Orange piece Then the two Yellow pieces Then the two Green pieces Lastly, the Blue piece.
[aside: Did anyone else learn the resistor color code? And yes, I know I le ft out Black and Brown. And yes, I have heard all of the various off-color mnemonics for it. And no, I won't be reproducing them here] :)Maybe the blue piece should go on earlier? I think maybe it should, but I'm too lazy to redo the screenshot. The clamping would be a little tricky too , especially with my modest inventory. Does anyone ever clamp a box like th is with it standing vertically? I'm guessing not; too easy to have it end u p twisted.
As always, advice would be appreciated.
