How are the Mesa cabinet panels joined?

[Kiteboarder]

Hello. I was watching the video on the Mesa homepage. I saw that the wood cabinets that are meant to be "wood finish" are cut to have interlocking panels. (The square "teeth" at the end of each panel that interlocks with the adjacent panel.)

Now, I know this is true for the wood finish cabinets. But... How are the joints done for the tolex-covered ones? Is it the same type of joint, or is it a simple flat corner joined with screws?

I think they call it, 'Dado' jointing. Or maybe it's 'Box' jointing.
Basically, each peice has a different cut that fits together.
The cuts are striaght and run along the length of the boards.
They glue them together and then use finish nails to hold it.

It's a really strong connection. Not as strong as the 'Dove Tail' jointing that you saw though.

PM GTS, he makes some really nice cabinets. He could probably explain it better and might have a pic or two.
