The outside corners are indeed all miter joints. In hindsight, I’d do splines. I did reinforce the bottom miters with dowels, but the top miters were tight enough that I felt comfortable with just glue.
That’s a good question that I don’t know the answer to. Credenza seems like the sexy marketing term, like how so much stuff is “mid century modern” now!
If I were to make these out of wood for an entertainment center (Legs would be 12" tall, 18" wide), would they be strong enough without a stretcher running between them?...
I can be flexible with the wood species for the legs, as the intent would be to dye them black. Can also use any type of joinery with the exception of a domino. The entertainment center itself is 3/4" walnut plywood, I’ll post a picture of it when I get home later tonight. Thanks for your input!
Here is a picture of the entertainment center, hairpin legs as a temporary placeholder. Made with 3/4" walnut plywood for the top. Wooden legs can be any species, but my intent is to dye it black.
I heard we are doing walnut credenzas now. Made this one for my brother for Christmas. (lemm.ee)
For some clarity, I did not make the speakers, but attempted to match the wood as closely as I could for the credenza.
Question about my legs... (imgur.com)
