I'm working on a bookcase and want to wrap the bottom with a 1x4 across the front and sides. I tongued the front edge of the bottom shelf and grooved the back side of the 1x4's so it fits flush with the front edge of lower shelf some glue and clamps will care of the front.
But for the sides should I groove the outside of the sides and insert a strip in between the sides and the 1x4 trim? Then make some elongated holes and attach the trim to the side with some screws? I know you wouldn't want to glue the 1x4 to the side it would prevent the side pannel from moving and I'm sure it would split it over time.
Maybe I need to snap a pic :swoon:
Thanks
