Making an open front (no doors) sheet-music cabinet. This is to replace a = similar (garage sale) one that has failed. The failed on was particle boar= d sides with 1/16"=B1 shelves dado-ed every 1/2". The shelves were able to= slide. I would like to re-use the shelves since they are thin and I canno= t find similar thin particle board. Home Depot had masonite slightly fatte= r than 1/8 inch.
Anyway, the cabinet failed because the dado cuts broke through. I am conte= mplating using plywood for the new cabinet. Advise needed: =20
1)What's a good grade of plywood for strength after cutting dados? 2)Should I laminate 1/8" masonite onto the the 3/4" ply. and make cut the d= ados through the masonite for strength and wear?Note, this is not furniture, simply storage. I have over 20,000 song title= s collected over the years and want to organize prior to my demise. All su= ggestions appreciated.
