I've run the 1st cabinet as a test run for the other 2, so far so good.
Except for the doors it is complete. I want to finish the test run by mounting it in place on the wall.
It will go at the far right in the corner.
The building seems to be quite square.
The cabinet is also.
I'm not too worried about things lining up.
The back of the cabinet is 3/16" birch PW installed flush into a 3/8" [1/2 the thickness of the 3/4" PW sides] rabbet in the side pieces.
It is glued and nailed to the 3/4" side pieces.
My concern?
Is the attachment of the back to the sides going to be strong enough to hold the weight of a fully loaded cabinet?
I'm getting twitchy about it.
I'm thinking of adding a couple of strips of the same wood as on the wall to the backside of the cabinet so that they fit between the wall mounting strips and are screwed into the side pieces.
Making the sides pass some of the weigh to the wall.
I'm not sure if that is clearly stated.
