Sorry, no sketches or pics. I have not built a cage like this in some time.
There is a version of this cage that takes away the floating panel. Basically you make a series of frames for the front, back, sides, top, bottom. The frames are made from 3/4" stock of good quality wood.
Instead of floating the panel into the frame you instead route a 1/4" deep recessed area into the inside edge of the panel. 1/4" thick plywood is then dropped into this recessed area and attached with glue and brads. On the inside of the cage the panel is then flush with the frame.
You can also just cover the entire frame with thin plywood but this does not look as good from the outside.
I'm multi-tasking at the moment so I'm not sure how good of a job I did of describing this. Let me know if you have any questions.
