Looks normal enough...

From the front

But a top view shows it is a corner cabinet, and a small one too. It is so shallow that because it has a toekick it won't even stand up. It is front heavy and will just fall over. Good thing it is getting screwed to 2 walls.:grin:

Good looking cab from the construction perspective. I hate full recess panels, though.

[Leo G]

That's OK, I dislike overlay.

[neolitic]

I only dislike building or
adjusting recessed. :grin:

[DavidC]

I don't see how you're going to get a Korner King in that one.

Looks good though.

Good Luck
Dave

Little cabinets are a pain, when done individually. Customers look at them and say, I paid all that money for that "little" thing.

They don't always understand that it takes as long to build that "little" cabinet as it does a full sized cabinet.

[Leo G]

This took substantially longer to build than a square cabinet with the same frontage. I almost made money on it

Exactly...Some of them, just see little

[Leo G]

As a general rule of thumb.

Square = $$
Angled = $$ x 2.5
Curved = $$ x 5

Hey Leo I have a time saving tip when it comes to installation for you.

[Leo G]

You said that over there too. I don't see no tip yet.:rolleyes:

It really only works if the walls are dry walled, plaster not a good idea.

I clamp my rail on the scribe and rip it at a decent angle and then basically persuade
it to break the paper and stick into the wall.

No need to set and scribe and then sand.

[Leo G]

Did I mention the wall leaned 1/2". That is a bit more than breaking the paper.

I always use an angle on my scribes. Not sure how far into the sheetrock it goes.

I can put my rail at an angle to match the crooked wall.

It is quicker than sanding for me.

[Leo G]

I remeber how much fun we had with an installer who scribed with a string. Was that you?

The wall is more than at an angle, curved, twisted, leaning, floor comes up as it gets closer to the wall. You know, all of the above.

i had to put a 1 1/4" scribe on a lower and upper cabinet because the wall was flat from the inside corner out to about 5' and then curved about 1" back. Nice framing job, real nice. And it isn't even a 1700's house. 1950's

[PA Woodbutcher]

Almost as easy to cut the back off, take out what you need and put a new back on it:laugh3:

It's nice if you can catch these things before the boxes are built...One of the nice things about building your own. Floors aren't quite as big a deal, but walls being out like that suck

[Leo G]

When I was leaving the site one day as I was taking measurements I happen to look sideways as I was walking through the door. I made it about 1 step past and let out a WTF. I walked back and eyed the wall. Holy crap was all I could say. Got my 6' level out of the truck and put it on the wall. Swearing in my head went on for a good while. Just real glad I caught it. Otherwise it would have been a big whoops. I had some uppers that had 1/2" scribes on them that I couldn't keep everything on the wall and ended up with spaces, 1/2" scribe !!!

the really old houses around here are a helluva lot straighter than all the homes they threw up in the 50's-70's.... The jambs in my 150 year old house are still nearly plumb. (forget the floors though) Every house in the developments around here are more crooked than Leo at tax time. It's not that the framers didnt own a level, but the materials must have been so green that all the studs twisted as they dried. The 3/8" sheetrock allowed back then certainly didnt hold anything straight.

Yer shop is still small. :mad2:




:laugh4:

[Splinter]

Do you want me to bring up the utility bills again? :smash:

[Leo G]

Go ahead, you have little goat trails in your shop to build some trim? :laugh3:

Pretty much the same around here. Every once in awhile I'll find an older one that really bad, but as a norm it's usually the floor, where they tried to stretch the joists and beams. I'm guessing if they were still cutting them the way they had to back then, we might be stretching too...
