STL197: Clean Miters That Are Actually Strong 30.08.2019

Question 1:  From Elijah: I'm planning on building a floating media cabinet out of 5/4 cherry. The basic idea of the cabinet is an open box that looks like you can look through to the wall. However, it will actually have a false back made of 1/4" MDF painted the same color as the wall to hide all of the wires. For this project I like the clean look of miter joints, but I am worried that it will no...
