Today I started on my FIL's Firearm Display Cabinet, I got a lot of the QSRO jointed and planed and even managed to get some glue ups in clamps The plans are here and I'm sad to say they aren't too good. They built the whole thing out edge banded plywood and trim so the dimensions are all messed up. I decided I'm just gonna wing it and come up with some spin off of what's shown...
My question is the base cabinet has a top but the hutch doesn't have a dressed bottom. If you look at the diagram you'll see what I mean, it's just a piece of wrap around trim, which is fine for plywood but not a good idea for solid sides :icon_scra. If I were going to make a bottom for the hutch do you think it would work out if I made the hutch bottom to fit the edge of 1/2 roundover of the top on the base cabinet? I'm thinking this would give a layered effect. The 7/8" thick base top would be slightly wider (1/2") than 7/8" thick hutch bottom. I hope I didn't confuse anyone to bad.
Thanks
