Here is one for you Alliance. 1/8” shelving helper

[Hotrodjohn]

I have been in the fabrication business for over 40 years. I have never made a shelf out of 1/8” plywood. The hallway closet in the 340 was sagging a lot. I try to put the heavy stuff on the bottom shelf but even so the shelves were starting to look like that horses back in the three stooges. Just a 3.5” x 3/4” with some pocket screws goes a long way…….

Can't hurt to let them know! The reason the drawers are reinforced the way they are is because a cabinet shop employee went the manager and said "Hey, we have all of this plywood drop left over-can we use it to reinforce the drawer bottoms?".

Ya here is my bottom drawer that you speak of the entire bottom fell out….

I made a dovetail drawer with a thicker bottom and sides. We didn’t have that much in the drawer
