Subject: Re: [motm] Open Cabinet Question

Ken,

For my cabinet, I was planning to keep it open, like Moog cabinets, but I will keep
it fairly close to a wall so there should be a lower "dust flow" than there would be
in the middle of a room. However, for some other racks where I have MOTM stuff, I
was going to attach some chintz (sp) to the back of the rack to keep the dust down.

For wood, I think my woodworker friend is going to use either some walnut or maple
that he has around. I know this can be the expensive part but I think as long as it
is a decent 3/4" or so hardwood, just about anything will work.

Be careful with that table saw! You need those fingers for twiddling knobs too!
