I am building kitchen cabinets using 3/4" oak plywood. I'm using dado
cuts into the side panels for the shelves. In a magazine i get, it
talks about using a biscuit joiner on cabinets. I've used biscuits to
attach faceframes to the box, but I've never tried using them to
attaches shelves to the side panels. Is this a feasable option? Can
biscuits hold the weight of heavy dishes on shelves? Most of the top
cabinets would probably get three biscuits on each end of the shelf.
If seems that there's not alot of wood to support the weight of the
shelf and the dishes.

Anybody try this before?

I would never build a cabinet with permanent shelves. Put in rows of holes
to install shelf supports. Seems like when shelves are permanent the stuff
you are going to put in is just a little too tall or you need to stack
smaller items. Don't ask how I know this. (grin) WW
