My son and I are building a mid-century modern / contemporary credenza of walnut and steel without a frame for a clean look.
back and bottom - 3/4 ply
sides and top - solid 3/4 walnut
base - 1/8" x 1" x 3" steel
1) How can the top and sides be attached to take into account wood movement? I'm thinking of
a) bottom and back: using dominos to join
b) top: attach the center 6 - 8" of the top piece to the back and loose tenon the remainder of the back, attach the center of each side of the top to each of the sides (like breadboard ends of a table)
c) attach the bottom of each side to to the bottom piece
2) What is the best way to do sliding doors?
3) Do screws seem the best way to attach the base to the main unit?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
