When I built the chests for my young grandkids, I specifically rejected frame & panel construction because of what I perceive to be a strength issue. If what you are using finishes out to a nominal 3/4" then your grooves are 1/4" and the sides around the grooves are 1/4" and the panel tenons are 1/4". Granted, you aren't a wild young child but you clearly think 1/4" will provide sufficient strength for a hard working chest to last through the vicissitudes of a lifetime. Would you please elucidate your thoughts as to why?
I'm not arguing, nor will I. I just need some education.
