I need some help here all.
I'm planning on building a cocktail cabinet. I've looked at Kyles plans, looked at whammocade, and i've searched these boards a thousand times. I have everything I think i'll need except the wood.
I would really like the wood grain feel of the cocktails. So, do I get MDF and then roll the laminate on? Buy oak plywood with the veneer? I just dont know.
And whats the best way to connect them? metal braces? wood blocks? dowels? screw from the outside? inside?
I never really put too much detail into this part of it.... but its stopping me from going.
Its probably best that I just plow through it and improvise as I go... but sitting at work searching online keeps me thinking too much!
what am I doing.

I'm assuming you didn't read this:

Anyhow...don't get MDF! Get actual plywood. Birch would be good. The plywood will have a great grain, which you can stain. It'll be far lighter as well.

I would brace them from the inside. Try to hide the screw holes.
IMMark:
You might want to consider Oak plywood..if it is the grainy look that you like, Oak will have a much deeper grain than Birch. It only costs a few dollars more.

If you want it to look like the originals, then use a veneer.
