So as folks that have followed my threads know. I fully intend on redoing my van interior cabinets with actual wood instead of compressed sawdust, I mean MDF...
I am wanting something that can give me a nice, warm, natural cabin in the woods feel since, well that is kind of what it will be...
I will be using the original cabinet pieces, that are simply screwed together with L brackets pretty much everywhere, as templates, and using real honest to goodness joinery instead of bracketry and wood screws....
But for example, the cabinet doors for the toilet enclosure, pantry, and closet. I am considering making them the same size as original, but doing a 3/4" thick frame with beadboard insert panels. Just wondering how to do the design.
Idea #1. Rabbet the back of the frames, and simply inset them, with glue and diagonally driven pins.
Idea #2. Slot the frames, and insert the beadboard panels into the slots, again glued, but most likely no need for pins.
I know probably a stupid thing to ponder, but that is how my brain works...
