Interesting, but you're not going to get many people to follow you to another website.  If you want input from folks here you have to update folks here.

Yeah sorry I will update here as well.  I just thought I would mention my blog because it had some other stuff regarding this project that somebody might be interested in. 

ChadTower:

Okay, first question... did you use only those L brackets on the base or is it glued too?  From the pic it looks like there is a gap inside the base on the right side.  If it's not glued those L brackets are not going to hold a cabinet this size together unless you never move it.

Uncle:
Hi Chad,  I didn't glue the sides on.  There are more L brackets on the underside as well  which keep the sides in place.  It's very rigid when the front panel is in place. 

With your experience what do you suggest?  Should I be gluing the sides on, or perhaps running a baton along the edge, glue those and then screw the sides to those?
