I just finished the two side panels. The top and bottom rails have a 1/2" rabbet for the plywood to sit in. There will be something on the outside to cover those gaps, I just haven't gotten that far yet.
Here's an idea of what the face of the buffet will look like. It will have three drawers at the top, two cabinets at either side below the drawers, and the middle will be open, either with shelves or maybe a Jack and Jameson rack that I will let Mrs. Sharpienads use to put her wine bottles in, too. But make no mistake, it will be a Jack and Jameson and other various types of whiskey rack, with the occasional space set aside for wine.
