T-Molding Question
« on: June 02, 2008, 12:04:19 pm »
I'm building a cabinet and had a question about T-Molding.

When I put it in on the sides, I am starting on the back side and going all the way around to the front. My question is should I do the underside, where it sits on the ground, too? Would that be helpful to protect the plywood (im doing a furni-cab) from chipping? Or should I stick with rubber feet?

K Thx Bye

Depends on the cab, but you can't use T-molding to let the cab rest on. It's not suitable to carry the weight, if you move the cab, it could very well get damaged or loose at least.

Ok, that is what I was questioning.. I have some rubber feet I will use on the bottom. I still plan on t-molding the back, top and front, just not the bottom..

Thanks!

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

Install leg levelers or wheels. Don't just let your cab sit on the floor.

As for the t-molding, it looks better (IMHO) to have it on bottom. I started in bottom middle, and worked it around until the ends met.
