Alright, so currently I build base cabs with stretchers pocket screwed and glue, back panel rabbeted, and the deck is dado'd. I shoot cv on the insides of the box with the back off, but I'm curious...
Is there a design where I can prefinish everything, and not run in to needing to glue where finish exists? I can do this with my uppers, since the deck and top are dado'd, but base cabs on the other hand...
I have heard of people taping off areas when they prefinish, but i dont want to go this route for fear of inaccuracy, ie unfinished wood showing right at the edge of a stretcher butt jointed.
I also want to avoid dado'ing full tops on base cabs because, well, that is a lot of ply, and ply is expensive.
