I have settled on my width and depth measurements and so today I built one of the base sides. It included rabbeting the inside back edge so it can accept the backplate. You can see the rabbet cut in the lower right corner below. As with the front, I used biscuits and clamps to join the two pieces together. Tomorrow, I will cut the top and bottom and give a thorough sanding. Then, on to side two! If you are wondering why there is no framework, I intend to add considerable support framing once the sides are in place. See the earlier blog from this morning below. Click on photo to enlarge.
