Protecting bottom of the cabinet?
specialmoose:
What are you guys doing to protect the bottom of the cabinet? I'm using 3/4" MDF and have primed and painted the bottom but that's all. Do you guys wrap around your t-molding to include the bottom or just leave it bare wood?
I already searched and didn't find anything.
FrizzleFried:
Some classic cabinets wrapped T-Molding around the bottom (Atari Centipede for example). Others didn't. But they pretty much ALL use LEG LEVELERS under there to keep the wood from sitting on the ground. The other option is some small casters to make moving the cabinets easy.

Since I'm converting a Taito cab, it had legs (well, 3 out of 4), and wheels at the back (well, 1 out of 2). I replaced all 4 legs (Ace Hardware), and both wheels (Happ) and she's solid as a rock. As for protection, just like you, primer and paint, I'm not wrapping the t-molding underneath.

I would assume this question pertains to full sized cabs...on my bartop, I painted the bottom and then wrapped the t-molding all the way under. The t-molding holds pretty well for grip.
