Hello, I just left my workshop with and interesting dilemma and am looking for advise to resolve it. My current project is a small cabinet which will serve as a printer table. The carcass is made of pine. It has a pair of raised panel doors made of the same wood as the carcass. The inside is divided by a single shelf which is held by shelf pins.
Here is the dilemma: I cut a back panel out of some 9/32 plywood stock that I found in my wood pile. The ply has only one good side. The question is whether to put the good side in, i.e. visible from the inside of the cabinet, or out?
What do you think?
Thanks for you help,
Jay

jay,
If the cabinet back will be against the wall then the good side in , if the backside of the cabinet will be visable then best side out , imo .

Which is more visable? If the cabinet will live against a wall and that is how it was intended, then put the good side in. If it is freestanding away from the wall , good side out. The other thing to consider is that once the cabinet is full of stuff you won't see the back.
Good luck,
