I’m in the process of laying out plans for a modular entertainment center, double bookshelf, and bridge shelving unit that will be made entirely out of 3/4” plywood except for face frames. What is the rule of thumb for setting the dado depth for shelves? My inclination is to go half-way, but I have seen some much shallower dados in similar applications and wondered what design or engineering reasoning went in to determining these depths. |
