Hey guys I am going to be staining all my pieces soon. Maybe even start this weekend. My question is should I stain the bottom of the base and even the base boards? Just wondering. I will be doing pretty much everything else both sides of every piece. I am going to start sanding some pieces this weekend. I would like to get the two big cabniet side pieces out of the way first. I will be doing the staining inside when the 2 year old is asleep at night. Another thing I need to ask is about slot cutting.
I am going to use a slot cutter bit on the router for some tmolding. Here is my question. I want the T-molding to go all the way around. I will stop about four inches in on the bottom. Here is my thing when I get down to the area that is going to be behind the control panel, and underneath the control panel. Should I slot cut that out, so I will have T-molding under/behind the control panel box. Or should I stop around the area where the control panel box is. I don't want the box to sit uneven or anything like that. You know what I am saying?
Thanks
