Hi there,
Having previously made a kitchen cupboard out of MDF I utilised butt joints that were screwed from the external face. This was fine as the cupboard was then covered in wallpaper as it's final finish.
However, i am now making a low kitchen cupboard and some bedside tables out of fair faced ply. The bedside tables will essentially be two same sized pieces for top and bottom, overlapping the side and rear panels.
I love the edges of good quality ply and want to show this off.
Therefore I'd like to keep all of the fixings internal/hidden.
I've not used them but what do you think about modesty blocks?
Or maybe corner battens screw fixed in the same way as a modesty block?
Unfortunately i do not have a workshop (although enough tools to fill one!). Therefore I am somewhat limited in my options.
Would appreciate any thoughts/comments/links.
Thanks in advance.
