Staining and T-miolding soon?
rdowdy95:
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

You really don't need to stain the botton of the base or the base boards unless you want to.

I had this exact question come to mind when I cut the slot for the T-molding on my cabinet. For my cabinet I did not cut a slot for the T-molding under or behind the control panel because I thought the control panel wouldn't sit right.
NightGod:
Slot the whole thing and then decide if you want it there or not when you put it in-better to have a slot in a hidden area that you don't use than to try and slot it after it is assembled because you decided you want it.
rdowdy95:
NightGod does your control panel sit right on the T-molding?
JON nice cab from what I am seeing. Did you use Lucid's plans?
Is that some extra support cross beam under the monitor shelf. NICE! I love the wood look!
JONTHEBOMB:
Yep, I used Lusid's plans.

Actually I put the monitor shelf about one inch to high. So in between the monitor shelf and the control panel there was just a little space that I covered up with an extra piece of wood.
