Hiya,
I'm wondering if there's any sort of "standard" for how many screws to use
to attach tops? I've got a top that is 24Wx58Lx3/4 thick that's going on
top of a dresser carcass. I plan to screw the front edge of the top and
use slotted holes along the sides/back to allow for movement. I'm curious
to know how many screws I should be using on the front edge? The top is
cherry. I have the option of screwing through the carcass at the front
through either cherry or hard maple. If I were to screw through the hard
maple, it would mean the front of the top's edge would be about 6" away from
the screws (versus around 3" for the Cherry)....is this a problem? Sorry to
make this simple affair complex.
Cheers,
cc
