Lots of ways to approach a frame to hold your casework, just a couple:

I have put quite a bit of thought into my TV-Stand project since I last
posted about it. Here is a link to a tv-stand with some features I
like, though I don't think I'll uses "posts" in the corners--I'll
probably just use plywood sides. In particular, I like the color, the
55" length and the the partition into 3 parts:

This raises the question that has been kicking me around: Given a base
with only 4 legs of support at the corners (say, like on the Cedar-lined
chest you made for your daughter, only longer and wider),
wouldn't the frame be inclined to *sag* length-wise? The rectangular
piece resting on the base would be made from 3/4" Poplar-core
(Cherry-veneered) plywood. The shape is still much like in my original
picture, only the length has grown to 55" now, and it will have a base
frame!

If I/we get passed the sagging issue, then I need to deal with how to
make the 2 doors (in a "smart" way, i.e. in a way suitable for someone
who never made a cabinet door before..lol). Would you use the same
plywood for the rails and stiles of the doors? 1/4" plywood for inset
panels? I'm supposed to get my jigsaw this week and the
Formaldehyde-free ("Purebond") 3/4" A-1 Cherry-veneered plywood is $100
a sheet. The man at Home Depot, Rick, said that was "expensive stuff for
a beginner" and I agreed with him. The C-3 stuff is probably not as
suitable (but it's in stock at $45). Could I buy the C-3 grade stuff to
make the shelves with, or is it likely to be a P-poor match?
I assume the latter.
