Not Drywall hanging or Yard Equipment

Very nice, as usual.

I forget what it's for so I have to ask: Why the lip on the shelves?

I like the look, but wonder if it'll be a nuisance.

Thank you!

To hide the edge and to make the front and back edges of the shelf stiffer.

Plus, it allowed me to index the piece with no worry of slipping in the clamps and no mechanical fasteners to hold it in place.

It sticks up 1/8", I rounded the inner edge to make dragging objects over the lip smoother.

This is actually what the customer, Nailshooter, wanted.

When I said "I forget what it's for" I meant the overall piece of furniture, not the edging itself. If I ever forget what shelf edging is for, especially on plywood, it'll be time to hang up the tools. ;-)

I was specifically asking about the lip and why it was incorporated into the piece.

The "dragging" is what concerned me, but if that's what the client wants, that's what you give him (within reason).

LOL, A hutch/pantry.

It makes the edging thicker, a full inch, top to bottom, and self aligns.

Yes!

The customer isn't always right but he is the customer.

Looks like drywall yard equipment to me.

Very nice! You've outdone yourself.

LOL Lost me on that one!

Thank you Sir!

I'll add that the only 1/4" plywood is on the back panels. The drawers are all 1/2" Baltic birch, sides and bottom.

And the doors have 1/2" Baltic birch for the center panels. Easier to get a solid fit and better fitting joints.

When cutting the groves for the joints for typical 1/4" panels I have to run the rails and stiles on edge over the flat cut blade and then flip end for end to sneak up on the width to fit the panel.

IF the wood is not perfectly straight the grove ends up being narrow in spots.

With the thicker panel, I used the inner and outer dado blade to make a

GOT IT! DOH!
