A case by any other name

In the Hanging Display Cabinet article in issue 273, you referred to the frame of the project as a “carcase.” I worked in case-good furniture plants for 40 years and believe the word you were looking for is “carcass,” as in the bare bones of a piece of furniture.

Both spellings are acceptable in a woodworking usage, Rick. We’ve always used the UK-preferred “carcase” to avoid subconscious comparisons of our project plans to roadkill.
