I am in the process of building a entertainment center/tv Stand
It is made out of about 1.5" Hickory so if I fully assemble it will be rather heavy and hard to carry upstairs. So I was thing of finishing each piece individually and then bring up the pieces and doing final assembly in the room. That being said I am tring to figure out the best way to do the final assembly.
1) My first though would be with some pocket holes, figure 3 to 4 in each of the vertical.
2) Then I though maybe dowel and pocket holes, but not sure if that really add anything.
3) Then it was pocket holes and a few L brackets.
4) I then though I could do a no through mortise and tenon on all of the lower bottom horizontal pieces, with pocket hole screws and then pocket hole screws into the bottom of each horizontal, or l brackets.
5) Then I thought I could use non through mortise and tenon of both end of the far right piece because I know the exact location and then do the same as the 4th.
6) I could mortise and tenon and glue the bottom self and then pocket hole the rest.
Also trying to figure out if I should add any feet to the bottom the the unit just so the whole thing isn't resting on the carpeted floor and it would just be 4 or 6 feet that it would sit on.
