You could also just cut the t-molding groove so that it lines up with the plexi, and then take a router or utility knife and shave the bottom, since that'll be the place that the t-molding won't be stared at so intensely.

well.... in hindsight that makes the most sense. Especially since it cost me probably $20 in gas driving to different stores. I'll probably just grab a full sheet of 5/8ths. I can use the left over for the next project for the internal shelves and what not.

You car rout a 1/8" rabbet off the bottom side of your 3/4" cp and use 3/4" t-molding. Drew sorta said this above...

Knevil does this on his cabinets regularly. I have used this trick as well.

Also, it is a requirement of the woodworkers code to purchase full sheet stock. You will even find yourself looking for plans to build a rolling cart to store all your drops. I eventually rented a storage for my scraps.

Of course, I may just have an OCD problem :(

NightGod:
Just curious...how much scrap can you have that you need a storage space? Wouldn't you just use up scrap from a previous project at the start of the next? Seems like you should only ever have about one or two decent sized scrap pieces of any particular wood type...

DrewKaree:
You'd think so, wouldn't you?

Go ahead, get started with some woodworking projects.  You'll learn soon enough :laugh2:

That one was almost as good as the "Why would you need more than one router?" question :laugh2:
