Cabinet support structure

USSEnterprise:

Thats what I thought, but then how do you access the internals?

cdbrown:

Mine doesn't have an internal frame, the large panels do that.  Ensuring that all the joints are strong, there's plenty of strength in the monitor support and your wood isn't too thin then it will stand up fine.  Link to my website is on the left.

Havok:

The frame is not necessary - look at classic gutted cabs, but I personally think a framed cab is stronger...

pointdablame:

The back is an important part of the structure, but you're not realizing one thing... not many cabs had teh ENTIRE back as a door.  Just simply leave yourself a frame on the bottom and something like the top one foot of the rear stationary, and make the rest of the rear panel a door.  That way, the structure is sound, and the door lets you get to the internals.

paigeoliver:

Never seen a real cabinet that had a frame. Not even heavy old cockpits had frames, the walls of the cabinet were the load bearing parts.

Think of it as furniture, look at most of your furniture, do you see many frames?
