I did a quick search but didn't find what I was looking for, maybe someone can help me out.
I will be building my cabinets and galley countertops soon. I have thought about how I want to build them but haven't made any concrete decisions. For instance just use a face frame, 1/2 Baltic birch dividers and a 3/4" solid piece of plywood but that seems heavy to me.
Then I thought how about making a torsion box countertop and drawer dividers so save weight. I was thinking of making it like the picture below with the foam insulation for support and skinning it with 1/4" birch or another type of wood. I would have cross members where the drawer slides need to mount for side rails. I could put Formica on the countertop and stain the birch dividers.
Any thoughts on doing it like that?
or just in general how to make a strong/light weight cabinets for galley and cabin interior?
