Hi Mark,
Fully agree with you and after posting I've been thinking a lot and the idea of the Windows I the bottom are ideal. I was thinking of fairly small ones cut inbetween the cross members(with holes) and they only need to be 5 inches wide and line up with my central bus cable. I remember from my last layout my wiring was very neat and simple. My idea was to maybe not glue the bottom panel in but rather to fasten it with screws so I can always undo it in case I have a big sue but that may weaken it too much.
I want to try and keep the whole shelf thinner than 3inches, will have a 4 inch facia on it. The top hood will have a 5 or 6inch facia and might need to be as think as the lower one as the lights can be heavy, although I think I'm going to try god undercounter light this time.
Any suggestions o the type of timber to use for the clear and inner members?
