Has anyone tried using metal brackets and screws from the inside?
A guy I work with had his wood panels cut out of melamine at a local millworks company (very nice cuts), and doesn't want to damage the outside either. He was thinking metal brackets and screws, but I wasn't sure. For mine (particle board with laminate on the outside) I used pieces of 2x4 that I ripped into pieces similar to a 2x2 and just cut to length. Seemed nice and easy, but he really wants to use brackets. Of course, he wants me to help him build, so I don't want him blaming me if it doesn't work out.
